title: [Motor disturbances in psychiatric patients].
abstract: Motor disturbances are common symptoms in schizophrenia. They can be caused by the illness itself or by antipsychotic treatment. The author gives an overview of the history of research in this topic and discusses the relationship of motor disturbances with many other aspects of psychopathology and subjective well-being of the patients, such as cognitive, emotional and social functioning.
