Common signs include abnormal movements of the head and neck, excessive blinking, a breathy or choked-sounding voice, hand cramps, or a twisted foot. Because dystonia may alter the subtle cues of natural body language, symptoms are sometimes mistaken in social situations for behavioral disturbance, substance abuse, or bad manners. Dystonia impacts people of all ages and backgrounds. Conservative estimates state 250,000 Americans are affected, and up to 70% of cases are misdiagnosed.About the Dystonia Medical Research FoundationThe Dystonia Medical Research Foundation (DMRF) is the leading 501c3 dystonia patient advocacy organization. Founded in 1976, the mission is to advance research toward improved dystonia treatments and a cure, promote education and awareness, and provide support resources to affected individuals and families.
