Analysis of Three-dimensional Movements of the Head in Cervical Dystonia

This study addresses postures and range of motion in cervical dystonia (Spasmodic Torticollis). It uses 3D miniature and wireless motion captures sensors, and aims to increase the understanding of the biomechanics of the movement disorders of the cervical column in this pathology. In addition, the clinical state of cervical dystonia of the patients will be assessed, using the Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS). The investigators will compare the results between control and study groups.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Range of motion of the voluntary mobility of the cervical spine in the three spatial planes

    Time frame: baseline

    Range of motion of the voluntary mobility of the cervical spine in the three spatial planes, measured in patients and matched control subjects

Secondary outcomes

  1. movements disorders in cervical dystonia

    Time frame: baseline

    correlations between the movements disorders (range of motion, angular velocity, direction deviation) and the clinical characteristics of cervical dystonia, among patients with cervical dystonia

  2. head posture

    Time frame: baseline

    influence of vision on the head posture

  3. range of motion

    Time frame: baseline

    influence of vision on the range of motion

Other outcomes

  1. score on the Toronto Western Spasmodic torticolis rating scale

    Time frame: baseline

    clinical characteristics of cervical dystonia
