What is Writer's Cramp?
Writer's Cramp is a neurological condition, also known as Task-Specific Focal Dystonia, that affects the hand muscles during writing. This condition can cause tremors, spasms, and difficulty gripping a pen, making even simple writing tasks challenging. Patients often describe their hand as having "a mind of its own" during writing, with the hand freezing or the thumb and fingers moving involuntarily, affecting their ability to write smoothly.
