Abstract
The current case study emphasizes the role of rehabilitation in 2 patients with Writer's cramps. Writer's cramps are a type of Task Specific Dystonia. Repeated use of the extremity in a particular position may lead to this type of a dystonia which is functional or task specific.i.e. the hand becomes dystonic only when it performs the specific function of writing as is the case here. Both the patients were subjected to occupational therapy for 8 weeks consisting of tailored sessions of sensori motor relearning program and traditional methods. As Occupational Therapy aims at return to function, these patients were longitudinally followed up for a period of 1 year during which they resumed their normal lifestyle and there was no significant complain.
