Abstract

Clinical scales of patients with cervical dystonia do not rate neck movement velocity. We prospectively measured range of neck movements and movement velocities in 35 consecutive patients with cervical dystonia (CD) and 29 normal controls. Reduction of peak velocities in patients with CD was the most robust abnormality and was correlated to TWSTRS. Coupled movements out of attempted movement plane were increased in the patient group. Movement range was moderately though significantly reduced. We conclude that slowing of voluntary neck movements is a frequent and hitherto unrecognized feature in CD. © 2009 Movement Disorder Society

## Abstract Several observations support the notion that integration of neck proprioceptive input is impaired in cervical dystonia (CD). An example is the inconsistent or opposite to normal effect of lateral neck muscle vibration on body rotation during stepping. We hypothesized that lateral neck v

## Abstract Sensory gestes (SG) are a pathognomonic sign of dystonia, which can be detected in up to two thirds of patients with cervical dystonia (CD). They reduce dystonia severity markedly but transiently. We report a patient whose CD substantially worsened with sensory input to the back of the
