One such technique is the analysis of writing and drawing behaviour during figure copying tasks. In the present study, 22 inpatients with an MDE were compared to 22 normal controls. Three tasks were used: the drawing of lines and simple figures, the copying of ...

متن کاملChanges in fine motor retardation in depressed patients treated with fluoxetine.
Changes in psychomotor slowing were studied in 21 inpatients with a Major Depressive Episode. Fine motor retardation was measured and analysed using computer-aided drawing and figure-copying tasks at T0 (the start of 6 weeks treatment with fluoxetine 20 mg/day) and 5 weeks later (T1). The differences in reaction time between the patients and a group of healthy, matched controls at T0 had disapp...
متن کاملA study using transcranial magnetic stimulation to investigate motor mechanisms in psychomotor retardation in depression.
The pathophysiological basis of psychomotor retardation in depression is unclear. In this study, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was used to examine the functioning of the motor cortical system in 19 depressed patients and 10 healthy control subjects. Motor-evoked potentials were measured in the biceps brachii muscle during a series of tests with the muscle at rest and during voluntary ...
