Occupational dyskinesias

Occupational dyskinesia, i.e. coordination neurosis (writer's cramp), is an occupational disease that occurs mainly in professions that require highly coordinated movements in the hand and arm as a whole, with a significant excess in the number of stereotypical movements per shift compared to normal indicators (programmers, musicians, typists, etc.). Today, focal dystonia is considered a neurological disorder that results from disturbances in inhibition, excitability, circulation, or integration involving the basal ganglia, sensory thalamus, and somatosensory or sensorimotor cortices. The paper describes the clinical manifestations, forms, differential diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of occupational dyskinesias.
