G24.1: Idiopathic familial dystonia
To be able to move muscles properly, the brain needs to control them. If muscles are not being controlled properly, they can seize up. You may then also make involuntary movements. This can affect one or more parts of the body. The cramped muscles may make the body twisted or bent. Other family members may also be affected.
