Resumen
ROJAS GOMEZ, Ana María et al. Embouchure dystonia: narrative literature review. Acta Neurol Colomb. [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.3, pp.146-155. ISSN 0120-8748. https://doi.org/10.22379/24224022256.
Excessive practice of musical wind instruments may be a causal factor for the development of embouchure dystonia, clinically characterized by the appearance of involuntary muscle contractions associated with loss of motor control while interpreting a wind instrument. It is important for health professionals to have the necessary knowledge when diagnosing and treating musicians that are at risk or already have this disorder. The purpose of this review is to examine the scientific literature on the history, epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of embouchure dystonia in wind instrument interpreters, in order to provide the clinician tools for prevention, diagnosis and treatment in musicians who are susceptible for the development of this disorder.
