Cervical sensorimotor control in idiopathic cervical dystonia: A cross‐sectional study

摘要

ObjectivesPatients with idiopathic adult‐onset cervical dystonia (CD) experience an abnormal head posture and involuntary muscle contractions. Although the exact areas affected in the central nervous system remain uncertain, impaired functions in systems stabilizing the head and neck are apparent such as the somatosensory and sensorimotor integration systems. The aim of the study is to investigate cervical sensorimotor control dysfunction in patients with CD.
