Weight bearing in right alignment is the first and main key of succsess in dystonia.
You should do as much as possible weight bearing and second most important thing ask your therapist to make you exercise in close kinematic chain And add rotation component in each exercise your upper extrimity also should be supported and should b extended in all exercises.

Some exercise for example
Push off in prone lying
Quadripod means all four in this position start with sustain then after some days add reaching forword and side ways
Then sunstain half kneel here also firat suatain then add reaching
Step standing diagonal reaching
Step up and down
