The Burk Fahn Marsden scale will be<br /><br>used to assess the severity of dystonia. Range of Motion will be assessed using<br /><br>a goniometer and a rapid finger movement task is performed to test the velocity<br /><br>and fluency of movements (bradykinesia). Two self-administered questionnaires<br /><br>will be completed to assess the level of disability (Radboud Skills<br /><br>Questionniare) and the neglect-like syndrome (Neuro Behavioral Questionnaire). </p><br>
