Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder. It is caused by the brain sending incorrect information to the muscles and is characterized by involuntary, prolonged muscle contractions, which cause affected parts of the body to be twisted into abnormal postures. It can affect a range of parts of the body including the neck, eyes, voice and hand.
Dystonia has a variety of causes – but dystonias affecting the hand are often caused by performing repeated hand movements. Such dystonias are known as “focal task-specific dystonias”. They can affect any profession which requires repeated movements but are more common among musicians than any other professional group. It is estimated that they affect approximately 1-2% of all professional musicians. Hand dystonia affecting musicians is often called musician’s dystonia or musician’s cramp
