The Dystonia Coalition: A Multicenter Network for Clinical and Translational Studies

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by sustained or intermittent muscle contractions causing abnormal postures, repetitive movements, or both. Research in dystonia has been challenged by several factors. First, dystonia is uncommon. Dystonia is

Distribution of neuromuscular junctions in laryngeal and syringeal muscles in vertebrates [PDF]

, 2006
Vertebrates are capable of producing a variable sound spectrum. In mammals, lissamphibia, and reptiles, the larynx is the vocal organ responsible for sound production, whereas in birds it is produced by the syrinx, an avian organ located at the base of

Dystonia and paroxysmal dyskinesias: under-recognized movement disorders in domestic animals? A comparison with human dystonia/paroxysmal dyskinesias. [PDF]

, 2015
Dystonia is defined as a neurological syndrome characterized by involuntary sustained or intermittent muscle contractions causing twisting, often repetitive movements, and postures.

Automated Creak Identifies Laryngeal Dystonia During Conversational Speech

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluated whether automated creak distinguished speakers with adductor laryngeal dystonia (AdLD), muscle tension dysphonia (MTD), and those without voice disorders during conversational speech. Automated creak estimates were able to differentiate speakers with AdLD from MTD and controls with similar performance across different types of ...

The Second Hit Hypothesis in Animal and Human Dystonia: The Role of Peripheral Nerve Trauma and Spinal Cord Injury

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
The “second‐hit” hypothesis proposes that both a genetic predisposition and an environmental insult—such as peripheral nerve trauma or spinal cord injury—are required for dystonia development. This review explores how neuroinflammation and maladaptive plasticity, triggered by nerve and spinal cord injury, contribute to dystonia pathogenesis.

Tardive Dystonia: Clinical Spectrum and Novel Manifestations

Behavioural Neurology, 1988
Tardive dystonia was identified in 25 patients: involvement of the face and neck was most common; truncal and limb dystonia were also observed. There were 3 cases of laryngospasm and 2 of spasmodic dysphonia.
