Abstract:
Hanger reflex is a common phenomenon in the population that involuntary head and neck rotation or skew occurs when applying pressure to the forehead, tempus or occipitalia with an ordinary wire hanger tightly around the head. The hanger reflex is consistent with the characteristics of sensory tricks in dystonia, and the phenomenon induced by it in normal people should be regarded as negative sensory tricks in dystonia. The mechanism of dystonia behind the hanger reflex and its therapeutic potential deserve more clinicians′ attention.
