Spastic dystonia EMG activity

"Spastic dystonia" or "Inability to voluntary silence EMG activity"? Time for clarifying the nomenclature

We thank Lumsden and colleagues for their comments on ourpaper ‘‘Spastic dystonia in stroke subjects: prevalence and featuresof the neglected phenomenon of the upper motor neuron syn-drome” (Trompetto et al., 2019). We agree with them that preciseterminology is essential for unambiguous communication andsharing of knowledge.
