Writer's Cramp Writer's Cramp is defined as a focal dystonia of the hand that presents itself during writing or drawing activity. Specific types of dystonia exist in caligraphers, writers, artits and painter. Initial results obtained through the use of proprioceptive stimulation in writers and artists has proven very hopeful. The intervention included a writing or brush stroke analysis as a baseline. Regarding the deficits and natural movements of each hand, specific exercises utilizing painting and drawing were created for individual patients. Those exercises induced neuroplastic change that allowed gradual motor control recovery. Using inductive proprioceptive stimulation, it is possible to obtain greater improvements in coordination in a shorter period of time.
