Focal dystonia
Focal dystonia is a neurological condition, a type of dystonia, that affects a muscle or group of muscles in a specific part of the body, causing involuntary muscular contractions and abnormal postures.

In musicians, the condition is called musician's focal dystonia, or simply, musician's dystonia. In sports, it is commonly referred to as the yips.
