For quantitative assessment of the primary torsion dystonias, a rating scale is proposed that has 2 sections, a Movement Scale, based on examination, and a Disability Scale, based on the patient''s statements about 7 activities of daily living. The validity of the Movement Scale was assessed by comparing scores with a ranking of patients according to dystonia severity and with ratings of the patients on the Disability Scale. The inter- and intra-rater reliability of the scale was assessed by comparing independent scorings of patients by 4 examiners and by comparing scorings by the same examiners performed at different times. The Movement Scale was a valid and reliable indicator of the severity of primary torsion dystonia.
