Although movement abnormalities are predominant symptoms of dystonia, patients also have alterations in temporal as well as spatial discrimination of cutaneous inputs. Here, we use a recently described method to test whether deficits also exist in temporal discrimination of proprioceptive inputs. Pe
## Abstract Oromandibular dystonia is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary contraction of masticatory and/or tongue muscles. Cortical negative shifts preceding voluntary movements called βmovementβrelated cortical potentialsβ (MRCPs) reflect a central motor control process. Reduced
## Abstract We investigated the extent to which oscillatory drives to muscle, believed to arise mainly from the motor cortex, are exaggerated and/or fail to react normally to peripheral stimulation in writer's cramp. We used the coherence between active forearm flexor and intrinsic hand muscles as
## Abstract ## Background: Focal hand dystonia may be task specific, as is the case with writer's cramp. In early stages, task specificity can be so specific that it may be mistaken for a psychogenic movement disorder. ## Methods: We describe 4 patients who showed extreme task specificity in wri
