Dystonia
Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder in which sustained muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures. The disorder may be hereditary or caused by other factors such as birth-related or other physical trauma infection poisoning (e.g. lead poisoning) or reaction to pharmaceutical drugs particularly neuroleptics. Treatment is difficult and has been limited to minimizing the symptoms of the disorder.
