- Schizophrenia is a common and often disabling neuropsychiatric condition.
- Sensorimotor abnormalities like dyskinesia, parkinsonism, and motor incoordination are prevalent in schizophrenia but often misattributed to medication side-effects or classified as neurological soft signs.
- Sensorimotor dysfunction may be an integral part of schizophrenia, even in medication-naïve individuals.
- Better characterization of sensorimotor dysfunction could improve management and lead to novel treatments for schizophrenia.
- Instrumental sensorimotor assessment plays a key role in understanding these dysfunctions.
