UNC Neurology Faculty Dr. Nina Browner and Movement Disorder Fellow, Dr. Abigail O’Reggio assisted in developing the American Association of Neurology online course “NeuroBytes: Task Specific Focal Dystonia – “Writer’s Camp”‘
Course Description:
Task specific dystonia is a commonly missed focal dystonia. This is in part due to the symptoms being observed in specific anatomical areas, and isolated to a particular function. Like any other focal dystonia, it involves abnormal posturing or movement during volitional activity. However, the dystonia occurs only when performing a certain repetitive task, such as writing. We aim in this video to describe the phemonology, improve recognition and discuss management options of task specific dystonia.
