This study draws attention to some of the differences between experts in assigning diagnoses of ET or dystonia to individuals with ET and abnormal postures. The goal here was not necessarily to build consensus, but to raise issues, highlight areas of uncertainty, and identify areas of common vs. differentiated thought. Several questions for additional research were also raised.
