Definition
Relating to or affected by dystonia; describes abnormal or prolonged muscle contractions.
Etymology
Derived from dystonia, following the medical Greek pattern 'dys-' + 'tonikos' (pertaining to tone). The adjective form developed alongside the noun in 20th-century neurology.
Kelly Says
When neurologists say a movement is 'dystonic,' they're describing something that looks almost possessed—like a hand twisting into an impossible position. It's different from a simple muscle cramp because the contraction is sustained and often involves opposing muscles fighting each other.
