Abstract
Writer's cramp is a focal, task‐specific dystonia of the hand and wrist. It primarily affects people who do a significant amount of writing, and causes difficulties in writing. We present five cases with writer's cramp who showed improvement in their writing ability with an applied hand orthosis. © 2001 Movement Disorder Society.Keywords
