Musicians With Dystonia
Musicians With Dystonia was founded under the auspices of the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation (DMRF) in 2000 by professional French Horn player Glen Estrin and Steven Frucht, MD, a neurologist at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York. The group is dedicated to serving the special needs of musicians affected by task-specific focal dystonia, particularly hand and embouchure dystonias.
As a program entity of the DMRF, the Musicians with Dystonia group adheres to the policies and standards of the Foundation, the Board of Directors, and the Medical and Scientific Advisory Council. The structure includes the Musicians Advisory Board and the Musicians Medical Advisory Committee.

The Musicians Medical Advisory Committee provides input to the Medical and Scientific Advisory Council on issues related to task-specific dystonia and contributes to the development and guidance of research initiatives. Although the Musicians Medical Advisory Committee may be consulted on matters of grant recommendation, the Medical and Scientific Advisory Council is solely responsible for the final recommendation of grant proposals. Members of the Musicians Medical Advisory Committee are responsible for encouraging grant applications among colleagues and providing physician education programs.
