[Which patients participate in exercise therapy? An empirical study of a psychiatric clinic].
OBJECTIVE
The aim of our study is to find out in which clinical and sociodemographic parameters patients who take part in kinetic therapy and those, who don't, differ.


METHODS
38 patients of a psychiatric university clinic who regularly took part in movement therapy were compared with 32 patients who did not.


RESULTS
The participants had a higher level of education, obtained fewer psychotropic drugs and were assessed as slightly less impaired by their disorder.


CONCLUSIONS
Our findings cannot fully explain what determines participation in kinetic therapy. Other factors like the cut-off of five times for assignment, the therapist's influence and the theory of self-efficacy need to be discussed.
