Dystonia can affect a single part of the body, or the whole body.Dystonia symptoms can include tremors, voice problems or a dragging foot. Symptoms often start in childhood. They can also start in the late teens or early adulthood. Some dystonia cases worsen over time. Others are mild. Sites offer symptom details, diagnosis and treatment information.
