  1. Movement Therapy in Schizophrenia Treatment Běla Hátlová, Alena Špůrková, Milena Adamková Charles University in Prague Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Czech Republic

  2. Movement Therapies • Psychomotor therapy (PMT) • Body awarenes therapy (BAT,BBAT) • Dance therapy • Adventure therapy • Kinesiotherapy • Psychomotor fitness training • other movement therapies

  3. The Term Kinesiotherapy • Therapy of actively performed intentional movement. • Supportive method of treatment that works as a parallel to pharmacotherapy. • Basic method of prevention

  4. Theoretical Rationale • Psychological change will be reflected in function of central nervous system • Corporeal scheme is the basic co-existence with the world • Motoric functionsclosely refer to the ability to perceive, to evaluate and to use the space relations

  5. The incidence of mental disorders • 10.5% in men • 8.7% in women. • Psychoses are represented by • 0,5% in men • 0,6% in women.

Schizophrenia • Changes in personal relation to the reality • Deformation of experiencing, behavior, personal characteristics • Disturbances of thinking, perception and affectivity • Lose of sense for individuality, unity, autonomy • Changes in working and social relationships mostly chronic nature (30%) • Disturbation of verbal communication (dezorganization, low enunciation value, rarely verbal communication impossible)

  7. body response disturbancies: • Disturbancies of body perception ( 74% of cases ): • feelings of miniature, enlarge, missing, abundance body parts, basic body feelings, discontinuance in running of any physically function • Psychomotor disturbances: discoordination of the movements, stupor states • Lose of automatical body locomotion • Problems with incoherent perception of the personality and body design structure

  8. Somatic State and Kinetic Skills in Schizophrenia • Low physic activity and physic form • Completely muscle inertia, wrong body posture • Disturbation of the cardiopulmonary system function, diminished fatiquebility • Weight excess • During long hospitalization: decrease of psychomo- toric skills (stability, accuracy of movements and coordination)

  9. Therapy of Schizophrenia Farmacotherapy – controll of „positive” symptoms – bad controll of „negative” symptoms New approach in psychiatria – bio-psycho-social unity of the person – looking for factors for strenghten the stability of the personality and increasing stamina against stress alternative procedure – movement therapy

  10. Kinesiotherapy… …is asupportive method of treatment that works parallel to pharmacotherapy, biological, physical, psychosocial and surgical therapies; Using goal-directed causing to psychethrough the movementof the diseased person, his/hermental processes, functions, states, personality and respectively relations. … allows to acquire approach through personal experience of the diseased persons and gives the possibility to influencing on his/her psyche in intentions of self-consciousness of psychosomatic self and its boundaries

  11. Ground of the Kinesiotherapy • Kinesiotherapy is based on neurofysiology, which shows relations between somatic and mental processes • Kinesiotherapy rise on premisse: that through the movement we should cause on mental processes and mental state of the person

  12. Why „Movement Therapy“ ? • Fixation of „Self“ (consciousness body perception) • Easier communication on non-verbal level with diseased person • Enhance of self esteem, self image, negative identity • Mental and somatic integration • Development of communication and social skills

  14. Research Questions 1. Is there any causal relations among regulary applied kinesiotherapeutics programs and mental stateof diseased persons (in progressive positive sense) ? • Which symptoms will positive (or negative) influence placing in kinesiotherapeutics programmes? • How strong is a correlation between total change of mental state of diseased persons and their integration in therapy?

  15. Research Group Selections-Basic Characteristic • …special created for each program by diseased persons: • Long term hospitalization (not less then 1 year) • Four different places (departments of successive • care) • Men and women separated programme • Each department 1 experimental and 1 control • group

  16. Research Methods Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale – BPRS (Overall, J.E.; Gorham, D.R - Filip; Sikora; Marsalek aj.1997): • Used to pursuingmental state of schizophrenia disease adults in the therapy process • 18 items evaluated on scale 0-6 points according to intensity non verbal displayor verbal behavior • Transformed values: - total score -factor´s score (average item scoresin realated factor)

  17. Factors of BPRS: Factor I.: Anxiosity -depressive syndrom (ANDP) Factor II.: Apatic-abulic syndrom (ANER) Factor III.: Paranoid-halucinatory syndrom (THOT) Factor IV.: Productive katatonnic syndrom (ACTV) Factor V.: Hostility - suspicious (HOST)

  18. Aplication in Treatment Regime • 3x in week in forenoon hours • continually past 14 week (totally 41) • excercise lesson duration: integrative programme: 15 – 35 minutes communicative programme: 20-45 minutes

  19. Integrative Programme Suitable for: diseased persons with low level of personality integration Target of the therapy: consiousness of self body structure schema contens of the excercise: basic and singularic gymnastic excercise and positions, breathers

  20. Communicative Programme • Suitable for : diseased persons in stabilised psychosomatic state • Target of the therapy : enhancement of communication and social skills • contens of the excercise : • Simple elements of health gymnastics with dynamic elements with stretching • Basic hand manipulation skills with instruments (scarves, balls)

  25. Results • Participation of patients in each programme showed significant improvement of their psychic state: decrease of global problems (global score: p 0,001), decrease of problems in anxiety-depression syndrome (ANDP: p 0,001) and in hostility-suspiciousness syndrome (HOST: p 0,001). Changes in (Anergia, ANER; Activation, ACTV; Thought Disturbance, THOT), are not significant. Integrative programme showed decrease problems in syndromes: ACTV: p < 0,001, THOT: p < 0,01 and ANER: p < 0,01.Communication programme showed lowering problems in: ACTV: p < 0,01) and ANER: p < 0,01. Changes in THOT are not significant. There is reasonably high attendance, activity and acceptation of programmes by majority of patients.
