## 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
## Abstract The relevance of the sensory system in the pathophysiology of cervical dystonia (CD) has been discussed since the description of sensory tricks associated with this disorder. Our objective was to locate changes in somatosensory processing of patients with CD responding in a passive sens
Muscle activities in 26 patients with predominantly rotational torticollis were quantified using surface electromyography. In the subgroup of 19 patients with an effective sensory trick, different modes and bilateral locations of trick application led to significant (P < 0.002) reduction of electrom
