1. A method of treating focal dystonia comprising: a. providing a system comprising a stimulating electrode operably connected with a processor configured to set one or more stimulation parameters for an electrical impulse deliverable by the electrode; b. placing the electrode in contact with at least one neuron innervating at least one muscle; c. using the processor to set the stimulation parameters such that the electrical impulse causes a level of stimulation which does not exceed an excitability threshold of one or more alpha motor neurons located within the at least one muscle; and d. delivering the electrical impulse to the at least one neuron, wherein the electrical impulse acts upon one or more muscle spindles located within the at least one muscle.
