Unusual delayed and prolonged arm weakness and atrophy following botulinum toxin injection for musician's cramp: case report.
Botulinum toxin is considered first-line treatment for focal hand dystonia in musicians. Mild, temporary weakness is a common accompaniment of effective injection. We present a unique case of delayed-onset, severe, prolonged weakness and at…

Botulinum Toxin A for Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome Evaluated With Shear Wave Elastography: A Case Report.
This case presentation offers supportive evidence that shear wave elastography may provide an alternative method of diagnosis of chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS). A 39-year-old female runner presented with bilateral anterior s…

Comparison of Ultrasound and Electrical Stimulation Guidance for Onabotulinum Toxin-A Injections: A Randomized Crossover Study.
[BACKGROUND] Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injection is an established therapy for limb spasticity and focal limb dystonia. Comparative benefits of injection guidance procedures have not been rigorously studied. [OBJECTIVES] We compared 2 ta…

Self-reported benefit and weakness after botulinum toxin in dystonia.
With this retrospective, single center, chart review study, we investigate the self-reported benefit and weakness after botulinum toxin injections in three different types of dystonia: focal hand dystonia (FHD), blepharospasm and cervical d…

Botulinum toxin and occupational therapy for Writer's cramp.
[BACKGROUND] Writer's cramp (WC) is a form of focal hand dystonia, for which focal botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injections are the current best therapy. Past studies have shown that some types of rehabilitative therapy can be useful. We hypo…

Electromyographic and Joint Kinematic Patterns in Runner's Dystonia.
Runner’s dystonia (RD) is a task-specific focal dystonia of the lower limbs that occurs when running. In this retrospective case series, we present surface electromyography (EMG) and joint kinematic data from thirteen patients with RD…

Research Priorities in Limb and Task-Specific Dystonias.
Dystonia, which causes intermittent or sustained abnormal postures and movements, can present in a focal or a generalized manner. In the limbs, focal dystonia can occur in either the upper or lower limbs and may be task-specific causing abn…

Muscle Selection for Focal Limb Dystonia.
Selection of muscles for botulinum toxin injection for limb dystonia is particularly challenging. Limb dystonias vary more widely in the pattern of dystonic movement and involved muscles than cervical dystonia or blepharospasm. The large va…

Botulinum Toxin Treatment of Blepharospasm, Orofacial/Oromandibular Dystonia, and Hemifacial Spasm.
Blepharospasm is a focal dystonia characterized by involuntary, repetitive eye closure. Orofacial and oromandibular dystonia describe involuntary dystonic movements of orofacial and oromandibular musculature. Hemifacial spasm is characteriz…
