Difference between Dystonia and Physical therapy

Dystonia vs. Physical therapy

Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder syndrome in which sustained or repetitive muscle contractions result in twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal fixed postures. Physical therapy (PT), also known as physiotherapy, is one of the allied health professions that, by using mechanical force and movements (bio-mechanics or kinesiology), manual therapy, exercise therapy, and electrotherapy, remediates impairments and promotes mobility and function.

Similarities between Dystonia and Physical therapy

Dystonia and Physical therapy have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Electrical muscle stimulation, Neurology, Occupational therapy, Parkinson's disease, Physical therapy.

Electrical muscle stimulation

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), also known as neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) or electromyostimulation, is the elicitation of muscle contraction using electric impulses.
