Abstract
The results indicate that patients with schizophrenia suffer from a specific primary motor deficit in diadochokinesia with reduction of amplitude and peak velocity. This deficit is significantly worsened by conventional antipsychotic treatment. Antipsychotic treatment additionally reduces the enhancing effect of an attentional strategy on motor performance.
