Don’t have the time to read the full article, but I’m baffled that Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is not mentioned once.
A significant amount of Dystonia’s in musicians end up being thoracic outlet syndrome (typically the neurogenic subtype, but a lot of violinists seem to be getting the vascular subtype as well from positioning). Often both (dystonia & TOS, not the subtypes mentioned).

That's often/usually not part of focal dystonia, so it doesn't quite feel like the same thing at first glance. Maybe I'm missing something.
