Dave talks with Rick Staab, the founder of Tyler's Hope for a Dystonia Cure. Dystonia is a movement disorder in which a person's muscles contract uncontrollably. The contraction causes the affected body part to twist involuntarily, resulting in repetitive movements or abnormal postures. Dystonia can affect one muscle, a muscle group, or the entire body. The third largest movement disorder behind Parkinson's and essential tremors, it is estimated that there are 500,000 people with some form of Dystonia in the United States.
