The research question

Which muscle-activation and movement patterns become abnormal during the task that triggers dystonia?

A specialist-led assessment of task-specific dystonia focused on abnormal recruitment, co-contraction, overflow and movement strategy during the provoking task, with repeatable monitoring during rehabilitation or intervention.

ParticipantsPeople with task-specific dystonia under specialist care.
Minimum sampleIndividual clinical assessment: N = 1. Research cohorts: sample size defined by the study design.
DurationDepends on the task and intervention-monitoring plan.

Typical protocol · Health

How this study is executed.

The protocol below reflects the service definition developed for Neuro Garage. Final details are confirmed before execution.

01

Define the task that reliably provokes symptoms.

02

Record baseline/rest and comparison tasks.

03

Instrument the provoking task with EMG and IMU.

04

Identify co-contraction, overflow, timing and movement variability.

05

Repeat during or after intervention to monitor change.

What the client can change with the evidence

The study is designed to translate observed behavior into concrete operational, people, design or risk-management decisions.

01Characterize the provoking task
02Support treatment planning
03Monitor intervention response
04Refine task adaptation or rehabilitation
Scientific configuration

The method follows the question

Technology is selected because it is scientifically appropriate for the research objective, not because a device must be used. Santiago configures the study scope, stimuli, participant flow and measurement path before execution.
