Tests of postural rotational laterality were carried out in 63 patients suffering from torticollis (53) or torsion dystonia with torticollis (10) and in 33 normal subjects. There was a correlation between the predominant direction of postural functions and the direction of the rotatory component of torticollis. Torticollis and torsion dystonia may be due to the release of a postural rotational laterality in pre-disposed subjects and not to a presumed asymmetric lesion of the brain-stem.
对63例患有斜颈(53例)或伴有斜颈的扭转性肌张力障碍(10例)的患者以及33名正常受试者进行了姿势旋转偏侧性测试。姿势功能的主要方向与斜颈旋转成分的方向之间存在相关性。斜颈和扭转性肌张力障碍可能是由于易感受试者中姿势旋转偏侧性的释放,而不是由于推测的脑干不对称性病变。
