- Dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by sustained muscle contractions, repetitive twisting movements, and abnormal postures of the trunk, neck, face or arms and legs, and is often confused with spasticity, rigidity or psychogenic diseases. Advances in the recognition of causes, evaluation and treatment of primary and secondary dystonias are discussed.
