Dystonia is a movement condition in which muscles contract involuntarily, resulting in repeated or twisting motions. The disorder can affect one area of your body (focal dystonia), two or more neighbouring sections (segmental dystonia), or your entire body (global dystonia) (general dystonia).<ref>[https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/dystonia/symptoms-causes/syc-20350480]</ref>

== Dystonia Rating Scale ==
== Dystonia Rating Scale ==
A task force that looked into DRS advocated the use of  seven specific dystonia scales.


==== Background ====
# One scale rating blepharospasm, the Blepharospasm Disability Index (BSDI)
Although several rating systems have been used to measure dystonia, only a few have had their clinimetric features tested. A task group was formed by the Movement Disorders Society to assess existing dystonia grading scales and place them in a clinical and clinimetric framework.
# Two scales rating cervical dystonia , the Cervical Dystonia Impact Scale (CDIP-58) and the Toronto Western Spasmodic torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS)
 
# One scale rating blepharospasm and cervical dystonia, the Craniocervical Dystonia Questionnaire (CDQ-24)
==== Types of Dystonia Rating Scale ====
# Two scales rating laryngeal dystonia, the Voice Handicap Index (VHI) and the Vocal Performance Questionnaire (VPQ)
 
# One scale rating generalized dystonia the Fahn-Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale (FMDRS). <ref name=":0" />

== Conclusion ==
Looking forward there is need for refinement of existing rating scales eg to include non motor features, and new outcome measures for dystonia's that currently have no rating scales eg. lower limb and trunk dystonia's. it is important to choose the most appropriate tool for dystonia subtypes, and training is recommended. Scales still need further research and development.<ref name=":0" />


bCriteria are as follows: 1 used in dystonia patients, 2 used by researchers beyond original developers, 3 successful clinimetric testing.

Dystonia[edit | edit source]

Medically induced dystonia

Dystonia is a hyperkinetic movement disorder in which involuntary contractions of muscles occur. It is characterised by sustained muscle contractions and abnormal trunk, neck, face, arms, and legs postures.[1] Dystonia Rating Scales (DRS) aim to evaluation the severity and distribution of motor symptoms and how they affect an individuals life. and also give a reference point for post-treatment evaluations. These tools provide an objective outcome, and need be accurate and of high quality.[2]

Dystonia Rating Scale[edit | edit source]

A task force that looked into DRS advocated the use of seven specific dystonia scales.

  1. One scale rating blepharospasm, the Blepharospasm Disability Index (BSDI)
  2. Two scales rating cervical dystonia , the Cervical Dystonia Impact Scale (CDIP-58) and the Toronto Western Spasmodic torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS)
  3. One scale rating blepharospasm and cervical dystonia, the Craniocervical Dystonia Questionnaire (CDQ-24)
  4. Two scales rating laryngeal dystonia, the Voice Handicap Index (VHI) and the Vocal Performance Questionnaire (VPQ)
  5. One scale rating generalized dystonia the Fahn-Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale (FMDRS). [2]

Conclusion[edit | edit source]

Looking forward there is need for refinement of existing rating scales eg to include non motor features, and new outcome measures for dystonia's that currently have no rating scales eg. lower limb and trunk dystonia's. it is important to choose the most appropriate tool for dystonia subtypes, and training is recommended. Scales still need further research and development.[2]
