Abstract

SPORTS-RELATED TASK-SPECIFIC DYSTONIA: THE YIPS Dystonia affecting athletes has not been researched or written about to the same degree as other focal dystonias. This may well be due to a previous lack of awareness or interest among both physicians and athletes. As dystonia and occupational cramps affect people who write, type, and play a musical instrument, it is logical to believe that dystonia also affects people who play sports. This review represents an attempt to specifically focus on sports-related dystonia, and provide the clinician a rational approach to define the patient with the potential for benefit from emerging treatments for this interesting focal dystonia.
