Focal Dystonia/Tremors/Jaw Disorder Research Paper Help

Post by DannyEldredTuba »

Hi Tubenet!

I am writing a research paper on Focal Dystonia, tremors, and jaw disorders such as over/underbites. If you experience any of these problems I’d love to interview you. My research is focused on techniques for rehabilitation. I’d love to get as much people as possible.

Thank you

Also, I recommend reading this book on golf, try your local library maybe.

Famous golf teacher Haney believes sports "yips" and musical dystonias are at least related if not the same thing.

I suggest you interview victims, but don’t use them for medical advice, unless you want to catalog how musicians will confuse symptoms with causes and give themselves a placebo. Example: there are psychological maladies that share symptoms with focal dystonia, but the latter is caused by nerve damage.

I have problems with tremor, and will talk to you, if you can work around my horrendous travel schedule. I’ve done a lot of “research” into the topic, but you shouldn’t take that as authoritative, either.

Thank you so much for all your replies and help, this is only a small “research” paper, for an undergrad class, so defiantly not a thesis. If anyone is willing to fill out this survey on your focal dsytonia and or facial tremors, I’d really appreciate it. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIp ... A/viewform" target="_blank
