Limb dystonia (LD) refers to dystonia affecting one arm or leg. Depending on the site of onset, age at onset, and the etiology, progression and prognosis will be different. Usually young‐onset primary dystonia affects the lower limbs and tends to generalize, while in adult‐onset, it appears in the arm and remains focal. Lower limb dystonia in adults is

Dystonia in Performing Artists: Beyond Focal Hand Dystonia
Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques, 2021ABSTRACT:Overuse of specific muscles in perfecting movements in performing arts makes an artist prone to many medical conditions. Musicians’ hand dystonia is focal task-specific dystonia (FTSD) of hand among musicians that has been extensively studied.

In vivo imaging of the dopamine transporter, a protein on the terminals of dopaminergic projections from the substantia nigra to the striatum, provides an excellent marker of the dopaminergic system in patients with parkinsonism.1–8 Previous studies have demonstrated that SPECT and [123I] b-CIT (2bcarboxymethoxy- 3b-(4-iodophenyl)tropane), an agent ...

Focal dystonia is probably the most disabling professional disorder in musicians, as it decreases the technical level of performances and may end a career. The instrumentalist is progressively unable to control the movement of one or more fingers when playing.

Kinesthesia is impaired in focal dystonia
Movement Disorders, 2006AbstractParkinson's disease (PD) and focal dystonia (FD) are both predominantly characterized by motor symptoms. Also, recent research has shown that sensory processing is impaired in both movement disorders. FD is characterized by involuntary movements and abnormal limb postures; thus, abnormal kinesthesia could be involved in the pathogenesis.

Stridor and focal laryngeal dystonia
The Lancet, 1992Fibreoptic laryngoscopy in 6 patients with laryngeal stridor showed immobile vocal cords in a paramedian position but no other local cause. Thus a diagnosis of Gerhardt's syndrome, usually ascribed to paralysis of vocal-cord abductor muscles, was made in 3 patients who had no other signs or symptoms of dystonia, and in 3 patients who had multifocal ...

In conclusion, musicians' focal dystonia is a significant and potentially career-ending neurological condition of which physiatrists and other performing arts medicine clinicians should be aware. Pathology has been identified in the somatosensory cortex, and in the motor cortex and basal ganglia. Although advances have been made in the elucidating some

Posttraumatic Focal Dystonia of the Shoulder
Orthopedics, 2012Focal posttraumatic shoulder dystonia is a rare and not easily identifiable entity. Its true pathophysiologic nature, predisposing factors, and disease course remain debatable. This article describes a rare case of a 40-year-old man with late symptoms of focal shoulder dystonia after peripheral trauma of his left shoulder girdle. The shoulder

Posttraumatic Focal Dystonia of the Shoulder
European Neurology, 2000Posttraumatic movement disorders remain a controversial issue with focal dystonia being a prominent representative. Focal dystonia of the shoulder without concomittant cervical dystonia is a rare event. We describe 2 patients who, after minor trauma, developed focal dystonia of the shoulder with severe chronic pain.

Focal dystonia: Current theories
Human Movement Science, 2001Dystonia is a syndrome characterised by abnormal involuntary sustained muscle contractions that often result in twisted and abnormal positions. Focal dystonia affects only a single body part with symptoms varying from permanent (e.g., torticollis) to task-specific (e.g., musician's cramp).
