3. Different Types
One of the main types of dystonia is focal dystonia. This type of dystonia will begin in a certain area which is usually the arm, neck, or face. If dystonia starts off as focal then it will usually remain that way, although it will sometimes develop into a different type: Segmental.
Segmental dystonia is where two parts of the body that are joined to each other are affected. For example, the hand and adjoining arm on one side of the body might be affected. There is also multifocal dystonia which means different parts of the body are affected individually. In addition, there is generalized dystonia, which will affect most of the body.
