## Abstract In a prior study, 10 patients with focal hand dystonia learned braille reading as sensory training for 8 weeks. Practice time was 30 to 60 minutes daily. They improved both their spatial acuity using the Grating Orientation Discrimination Task (GOT) and their dystonia using the Fahn sca

## Abstract Focal hand dystonia may arise as a result of aberrant plasticity from excessive repetitive use. Improvement might be possible with appropriate motor training. Focusing on trying to decrease abnormal overflow of movement to fingers not involved in a task, we developed a motor training pr
## Abstract Former studies suggest an additional involvement of the sensory nervous system, beside the involuntary contractions of antagonist muscles, in idiopathic hand dystonia. We studied contact heatβevoked potentials and quantitative sensory testing (QST) in 10 patients suffering from idiopath
## Abstract Myoclonus dystonia and idiopathic dystonia are associated with a greater frequency of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and major depression. We investigated the frequency of OCD in 39 patients with primary focal hand dystonia (FHD) using a semistructured interview. OCD and subsyndrom
## Abstract Differences between control and focal hand dystonia (FHD) subject groups in short interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) as determined by paired transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be difficult to demonstrate, due to interindividual differences. The purpose of this study was t
