What is Dystonias?

Dystonia is a clinical term that discribes a problem with muscular tone--that is, the inability to smoothly use or control a muscle. It is a symptom of very many neurodegenertive diseases. Spasmodic muscle contractions or muscle freezing are forms of dystonia. They can cause a person to have problems with walking and handling things and sometimes cause them to have contorted or spastic movements or posture.

This is impairment of muscle tone... Usually involves the head, neck, and tounge it is also associated with an adverse effect from a medication... Hope that helps

Dystonia is an abnormal tonicity of muscle, characterized by prolonged, repetitive muscle contractions that may cause twisting or jerking movements of the body or a body part.
