Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Psychiatrically healthy study participants without illness affecting motor function - Patients receiving pharmacotherapy for a schizophrenic disorder (ICD-10: F2X) for whom either symptomatic pharmacotherapy or a dose reduction of antipsychotic therapy is indicated due to EPS. - Ability to understand the study procedure and the handling of personal data - Written informed consent: An informed consent form must be personally signed and dated by the subject.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Presence of neurological or mental disorders that are not assumed to be a cause for the psychosis, but which significantly impair motor function, e.g. dementia, severe arthritis, existing drug/alcohol abuse or stroke. Due to the high comorbidity of mental disorders, such conditions are considered in the analyses but are not a strict exclusion criterion. - Inability to give informed consent - Pregnancy - CDSS score >6

Design outcomes

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcome of the analysis is to compare the motion tracking movement data with traditional clinical assessment scales used as standard procedures in routine clinical practice.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcome is to differentiate between psychosis-associated movement disorders and drug-induced movement disorders.
