Abstract
Isolated lower extremity dystonia associated with strenuous, repetitive exercise is relatively uncommon, but disabling and challenging to treat. The pathophysiology may be similar to task-specific focal dystonias of the upper limb. Prompt recognition of leg dystonia associated with extreme exercise could minimize unnecessary testing and procedures, and facilitate earlier treatment.
