Focal dystonia includes disturbed muscle tension balances, leading to painful, impaired and often aberrant motions. It is hypothesized, that the disturbed muscle tension balance which characterizes focal dystonias, does include a predominance of either the extrinsic or the intrinsic hand and finger muscle activities. | Notes: | Lauren Segers and Tim Tzirtziganis, BSc students Biomedical Sciences, and Sophie Smolders, BSc Biomedical Sciences, are cordially thanked for their interest during the preparation of this survey. | Keywords: | Finger movement, Functional-anatomical modelling, Focal dystonia, PC-workers | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/9890 | Category: | C2 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
