However, interventions addressing these deficits remain poorly investigated. A 54-year-old woman with CD, presenting balance and gait difficulties that interfered with work-related motor tasks, underwent a four-month training program. Sessions (40 min, three times per week) combined lower-limb strengthening, proprioceptive and balance exercises, and integrated motor\u2013cognitive tasks. Pre- and post-intervention assessments included gait speed (GS), stride length (SL), and stance time (ST) under usual (UW), fast (FW), and dual-task (DT) walking conditions, measured with an inertial sensor (BTS G-Walk). DT cost was calculated for GS and SL. Balance was evaluated with the Mini-BEST and Four-Square Step Test (FSST), while fear of falling was measured with the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I). Of note, both assessment sessions were conducted in the absence of botulinum toxin effects, whereas the training was performed, at least in part, under its influence. After training, increase were observed in GS and SL, with reductions in ST across all gait conditions. DT cost decreased for both GS and SL. Balance performance increased, and fear of falling was reduced. Importantly, the patient reported a marked improvement in work-related performance. This case suggests that a specific training program may effectively ameliorate balance and gait in CD, with positive effects on functional mobility. Further studies on larger samples are warranted to confirm efficacy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph22121831","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,8]],"date-time":"2025-12-08T08:21:43Z","timestamp":1765182103000},"page":"1831","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Balance, Gait Kinematics, and Fear of Falling After a Four-Month Targeted Training Program in a Patient with Cervical Dystonia: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8586-6465","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oscar","family":"Crisafulli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro di Ricerca Interdipartimentale Attivit\u00e0 Motorie e Sportive (CRIAMS)-Sport Medicine Centre Voghera, University of Pavia, 27058 Voghera, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marta","family":"Sarrocco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro di Ricerca Interdipartimentale Attivit\u00e0 Motorie e Sportive (CRIAMS)-Sport Medicine Centre Voghera, University of Pavia, 27058 Voghera, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5738-2298","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matteo","family":"Fortunati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro di Ricerca Interdipartimentale Attivit\u00e0 Motorie e Sportive (CRIAMS)-Sport Medicine Centre Voghera, University of Pavia, 27058 Voghera, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Tor Vergata, 00133 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Serra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro di Ricerca Interdipartimentale Attivit\u00e0 Motorie e Sportive (CRIAMS)-Sport Medicine Centre Voghera, University of Pavia, 27058 Voghera, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-9356-4537","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Venere","family":"Quintiero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro di Ricerca Interdipartimentale Attivit\u00e0 Motorie e Sportive (CRIAMS)-Sport Medicine Centre Voghera, University of Pavia, 27058 Voghera, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0683-5565","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giuseppe","family":"D\u2019Antona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro di Ricerca Interdipartimentale Attivit\u00e0 Motorie e Sportive (CRIAMS)-Sport Medicine Centre Voghera, University of Pavia, 27058 Voghera, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Public Health, Experimental and Forensic Medicine, University of Pavia, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"130","DOI":"10.1186\/s13023-022-02270-4","article-title":"Development of a patient journey map for people living with cervical dystonia","volume":"17","author":"Benson","year":"2022","journal-title":"Orphanet J.
