Article Synopsis
- Motor disturbances and issues with self-recognition significantly impact movement in people with schizophrenia spectrum disorder and bipolar disorder, and physiotherapists in Scandinavia are involved in assessing and treating these difficulties.
- The Body Awareness Scale Movement Quality and Experience (BAS MQ-E) is a new tool designed for this purpose, aimed at providing a quicker assessment than its predecessor, the Body Awareness Scale-Health (BAS-H).
- A study involving 62 participants showed that the BAS MQ-E has good reliability and validity, particularly relating to cognitive-perceptual signs and aspects of fatigue and emotional awareness, with results indicating that individuals with schizophrenia generally scored higher than those with other related disorders.
