## Abstract Writer's cramp is a taskβspecific dystonia that leads to involuntary hand postures during writing. Abnormalities of sensory processing may play a pathophysiological role in this disorder. Electrophysiology studies in a monkey model of focal dystonia have revealed deβdifferentiation of s

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 Previous research has demonstrated a relationship between the regularity of motor production and the ability to make accurate perceptual judgments. The current study investigated the temporal abilities of two groups of patients with known movement problems (musicians' and writers' cramp
The aim of the study was to investigate force regulation in patients with writer's cramp when performing a drawer-opening task using the precision grip. Experimental conditions included intervening load pulses and vibratory manipulations for examining grip force responses to sensory disturbances. Th
## Abstract We recently reported that transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) applied over forearm flexor muscles, a paradigm producing in physiological conditions transient changes in corticomotoneuronal excitability of forearm muscles, may improve motor symptoms in writer's cramp (WC).
