Objectives: The aim of the paper was to: (1) evaluate the effectiveness of the physiotherapeutic program in writer’s cramp, (2) compare the brain activity while writing in patients with writer’s cramp and in healthy controls, (3) compare the brain activity of subjects with writer’s cramp before and after the physiotherapy. Material and methods: Nine patients with diagnosed writer’s cramp and nine age-matched healthy controls were studied. The functional magnetic resonance imaging while writing was performed in the writer’s cramp subjects and in the controls. The patients with writer’s cramp participated in a 3-week therapeutic program of individualised exercises in combination with the immobilisation of the affected limb. The functional magnetic resonance imaging was repeated after completing the therapeutic program. Results: Only the results of the coil drawing test significantly improved after completing the therapeutic program. All other clinical tests did not reveal any significant changes after the therapy. Activation of primary motor cortex, premotor cortex and primary sensory cortex was observed while writing in the subjects with writer’s cramp and in the controls. Brain activation in clusters located in the areas BA4, BA7, BA18 and BA37 was more pronounced in the writer’s cramp group. Individual analysis revealed a significantly increased activation of the cerebellum in the writer’s cramp patients and it decreased after physiotherapy. Conclusion: In the writer’s cramp subjects, functional magnetic resonance imaging revealed increased – when compared to the controls – activity of several brain structures while writing. This activity was modified by individualised physiotherapeutic program.

Celami pracy były: (1) ocena skuteczności programu fizjoterapeutycznego w kurczu pisarskim, (2) porównanie aktywności mózgu podczas pisania u pacjentów z kurczem pisarskim i osób zdrowych, (3) porównanie aktywności mózgu podczas pisania u pacjentów z kurczem pisarskim przed fizjoterapią i po jej przeprowadzeniu. Materiał i metody: Badaniem objęto grupę 9 pacjentów z kurczem pisarskim i 9 zdrowych ochotników. Funkcjonalne obrazowanie metodą rezonansu magnetycznego wykonano podczas pisania w obu grupach. Pacjenci z kurczem pisarskim uczestniczyli w 3-tygodniowym programie terapeutycznym obejmującym zindywidualizowane ćwiczenia w połączeniu z unieruchomieniem zajętej kończyny. W grupie z kurczem pisarskim badanie funkcjonalnym rezonansem magnetycznym przeprowadzono ponownie po zakończeniu programu terapeutycznego. Wyniki: Tylko test rysowania spirali wykazał statystycznie istotną poprawę po zakończeniu programu terapeutycznego. Wszystkie inne testy kliniczne nie ujawniły znamiennych różnic. Zarówno u pacjentów z kurczem pisarskim, jak i u osób zdrowych stwierdzono podczas pisania aktywację pierwotnej kory ruchowej, przedruchowej i pierwotnej czuciowej. Aktywacja w polach BA4, BA7, BA18 i BA37 była silnej wyrażona w grupie z kurczem pisarskim. W tej grupie stwierdzono również istotnie większą aktywację móżdżku, która zmniejszyła się po terapii. Wniosek: U pacjentów z kurczem pisarskim funkcjonalne obrazowanie metodą rezonansu magnetycznego wykazało zwiększoną – w porównaniu z osobami zdrowymi – aktywację szeregu ośrodków w mózgu. Aktywność ta ulegała modyfikacji w następstwie zindywidualizowanego programu fizjoterapeutycznego.
