Writer's cramp is the most common form of focal, task-specific dystonia. Symptoms frequently evolve in the setting of repetitive hand movements and increased writing demands, and clinical presentations demonstrate a variety of different dystonic patterns of the upper extremity such as while writing or holding a writing utensil.

Trends in Neurosciences, 1990
Writer's cramp has been recognized for over a century, and originally was construed as a physical motor disorder. However, an unfortunate use of the descriptive term 'professional neuroses' to describe this and other similar task-specific conditions, coupled subsequently with fashions in psychiatry, led to the mistaken belief that writer's cramp was ...

Neurology, 2007
Writer’s cramp is one of many task-specific dystonias that develops in parts of the body involved in highly skilled, overlearned tasks, like writing, typing, or playing the piano. Prior evidence has demonstrated underlying defects in the basal ganglia including probable dysfunction of the indirect pathway that impairs suppression of unwanted excessive ...

Writer's cramp appears to be triggered by spending much time writing by an individual with a fertile physiological substrate for producing the ...
