“I am thrilled that the DMRF Canada gave me the opportunity to participate in reviewing this guidebook. As a grade 12 student living with Generalized Dystonia, I can relevantly connect many aspects of this information back to my own school experience.

Cervical dystonia, also known as spasmodic torticollis, is a focal dystonia characterized by neck muscles contracting involuntarily, causing abnormal movements and awkward posture of the head and neck. The movements may be sustained (“tonic”), jerky (“clonic”), or a combination of both.
