- Authors
Singh, Manmohan; Garg, Kanwaljeet
- Abstract
The authors in the article titled "Importance of Lesioning in Focal Dystonia" describe about successful management of a patient with musician's dystonia by thalamotomy. Dystonias are defined as diverse "group of movement disorders characterized by sustained or intermittent muscle contractions causing abnormal, often repetitive, movements, postures, or both".[[1]] Focal task specific dystonias (FTSD) are a diverse group of focal dystonias affecting an isolated body part and are triggered, at least initially, by a specific action. The focal hand dystonia in musicians, also known as musician's dystonia, is a task-specific movement disorder characterized by painless, involuntary muscle contractions occurring only while playing a musical instrument.
