Foot turning in when you walk? Hand cramping up when you write? It could just be you, or it could be a dystonia. History and exam findings in dystonia range from slight abnormalities in posturing to disabling tremors, but there are some clues that can help you identify this movement disorder. Drs. Andres Deik and David Coughlin share their experience in this week's brief episode.
