Title: | Rhythmic auditory stimulation incorporated in training improved movements in individuals with psychotic‑like experiences | Authors: | Wang, SM Chan, ST Wong, YL Hsu, HM Lee, CY Check, CY Leung, CK |
Issue Date: | Jun-2023 | Source: | European archives of psychiatry and clinical neuroscience, June 2023, v. 273, no. 4, p. 995-1005 | Abstract: | Movement abnormalities, including movement slowing and irregular muscle contraction, exist in individuals with psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) and serve as vulnerable factors of developing psychotic diseases in the psychosis continuum. To date scarce studies have developed early intervention programs tackling these initial impairments, which may be caused by basal ganglia alterations, in the early stage of the psychosis course. Rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) is a technique of neurological music therapy and has been proved effective in inducing faster movements in patients with psychotic diseases. This pilot study examined if RAS incorporated in functional movement training reduced severity of movement slowing and irregular muscle contraction in individuals with PLEs. Seventeen individuals with PLEs were randomly allocated to receiving RAS or receiving no RAS and underwent daily 40-min movement training (picking up beans) for three weeks. This study used motion analysis to measure movement performance at pretest and posttest. Eighteen age- and gender-matched individuals without PLEs were also recruited to provide data of intact movements. Results showed that RAS may reduce severity of movement slowing and irregular muscle contraction in individuals with PLEs. This pilot study is one of the pioneering studies validating effectiveness of early intervention programs tackling movement abnormalities, which are initial impairments in the psychosis continuum, in individuals with PLEs. | Keywords: | Rhythmic auditory stimulation Music therapy Psychotic-like experience Movement abnormality Early intervention Motion analysis |
