Sounds like it was a "tonic" seizure. A "tonic" seizure is like a "tonic clonic" without the jerking. "Tonic" means "stiffening" and "clonic" means "jerking." I had a tonic seizure once (about 10 months ago). I was at the mall with my grandmother. She said that I suddenly stopped walking. I held both hands out straight. She described my body as being "as stiff as a board." She said I started leaning backwards. She guided me to lean against the wall. I suddenly snapped out of it and began walking at a super-fast pace.
That's my best guess. Be sure to mention this to your daughter's neurologist.
