Dystonia and Dystonic Syndromes

The current concept of dystonic movement connects the abnormal function of somatosensory pathways and somatosensory analyzers with the dystonic performance of motor action, which is based on the abnormality of sensorimotor integration. This concept is reflected not only in idiopathic dystonia but also in secondary and symptomatic dystonias. This book will give a comprehensive account of the history of dystonia and dystonic, the physiology of dystonic movement, and the genetics and clinical appearance of primary and secondary dystonias. Considering the latest research findings, Dystonia and Dystonic Syndromes offer an in-depth discussion of current treatment options available for dystonia, including pharmacotherapy, surgery, and neurorehabilitation. Therefore, it serves as a valuable reference for neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, and neuroradiology practitioners, as well as for neuroscientists.
