Kinematic Features of Voluntary and Involuntary Head Movements in Cervical Dystonia
Abstract Background Cervical dystonia (CD) has a varied motor presentation, combining abnormal postures with complex involuntary head movements. Classification of these motor patterns remains imprecise, relying on descriptive terminology without robust definitions. Objectives To provide a kinematically‐grounded description of the motor phenomenology of
