I don't know, the fact that she can stop an involuntary movement by moving it voluntarily confused me?

I have seen on a program about Dystonia in UK, a woman whose body shook quite vigourously almost constantly and she struggled to keep her eyes open, but when she concentrated on playing the flue or hoovering they stopped almost completely. as soon as she stopped these activities they came back however and often worse than they had been before?

Do you get this Bri?

Also the primary dystonia's tend to result in limbs been locked in a fixed position rather than inventory movements, it only tends to present differently when the dystonia is combined with another condition. (What I was told)

However Dyskinesia's can have a variety of movements including tic-like, chorea, athetoid, and can be intermittent where the person has periods of normal behaviour then suddenly something will trigger an episode like when you was on the cart thing and your leg suddenly locked after driving it normally initially?

I would look more into Dyskinesia as they can have a wider variation of movements including Dystonic-type movements And include periods of normal behaviour.
