Focal Dystonia

Sensory processing is impaired in focal hand dystonia (FHD), with most previous studies having evaluated only the symptomatic… Expand

Patients with task-specific dystonia (writer's cramp) have impaired cortical inhibition likely arising from striatal dysfunction… Expand

It has been postulated that sensorimotor integration is abnormal in dystonia. We investigated changes in motor cortical… Expand

There have been few epidemiological studies of dystonia. Most previous studies have provided estimates based on few cases. A… Expand

Focal hand dystonia involves a loss of motor control of one or more digits; it is associated with the repetitive, synchronous… Expand

Abnormalities of the sensory system have been proposed as causative factors for dystonia By mapping the human cortical hand… Expand

In this study we tested a neuroplasticity/learning origins hypothesis for repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), including… Expand

Transcranial magnetic stimulation has been used in a double pulse paradigm to investigate the excitability of intrinsic motor… Expand

The epidemiology of generalized and focal dystonias was investigated in the Rochester, Minnesota, population over the period 1950… Expand

We have examined 29 subjects with writers' cramp (and 4 with typists' and one with pianists' cramp) and have noted two major… Expand
