“…Despite the fact that the balance organ is involved in movement, research so far has paid little attention to the issue of quantitative assessment of balance control in mental illness, and the few existing studies mostly concerned gait analysis in schizophrenia. Also, no detailed studies have been carried out regarding the effect of treatment on the control of balance [13][14][15][16].…”

“…Mimo tego, że narząd równowagi bierze udział w poruszaniu się, w badaniach naukowych poświęcono niewiele uwagi zagadnieniu ilościowej oceny kontroli równowagi w chorobach psychicznych, a nieliczne prace dotyczyły głównie analizy chodu w schizofrenii. Podobnie jak w przypadku badań chodu nie przeprowadzono dokładnych analiz dotyczących wpływu leczenia na kontrolę równowagi [13][14][15][16]. of research conducted in 1998-2018 based on the PubMed database and Google Scholar regarding both the main symptoms of depression, psychomotor deceleration and selected cognitive functions.…”

Purpose:The article aims at presenting the current state of knowledge concerning the relationship between psychomotor retardation, balance control and modulation of bioelectric brain activity and the patient's mental state, temperament traits and selected cognitive functions in patients suffering from recurrent depressive disorder. Views: The article contains an overview of research published between 1998 and 2018 based on PubMed, Google Scholar databases on both the main symptoms of depression with particular focus on psychomotor functions, and the relationship between motor activity and temperament traits (in particular neuroticism, trait anxiety, depressive temperament and the dominance of the BIS -Behavioral Inhibition System over the BAS -Behavioral Activation System), as well as selected cognitive functions (e.g. processing speed, attention span, operating memory and visual-spatial memory). The latter, as reported by studies both in this group of patients (recurrent depression) and in other groups (e.g. schizophrenia) may also be lowered during the remission period. The article lists simple and easily available tools that have been used for years in neurological and psychological clinical work, along with quantitative methods of data collection (QEEG, actigraphy, posturography). Conclusions: In patients with recurrent depressive disorders, a change in motor functions is observed, manifested by a motor retardation and changes in the balance and gait dynamics, as well as changes in the quantitative assessment of bioelectric brain activity. The relationship between these biological parameters and clinical symptoms of depression and their usefulness as biomarkers of depression is currently being evaluated in an experimental study conducted by the authors. StreszczenieCel: Celem pracy jest przedstawienie aktualnej wiedzy dotyczącej związku między spowolnieniem psychoruchowym, równowagą i modulacją czynności bioelektrycznej mózgu a stanem psychicznym, cechami temperamentu i wybranymi funkcjami poznawczymi u osób chorujących na zaburzenie depresyjne nawracające. Poglądy: Artykuł zawiera przegląd badań z lat 1998-2018 pochodzących z baz danych PubMed i Google Scholar, dotyczących zarówno głównych objawów depresji, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem funkcji psychomotorycznych, jak i związku aktywności ruchowej z cechami temperamentu [szczególnie neurotycznością, lękiem jako cechą, temperamentem depresyjnym oraz przewagą systemu hamowania BIS (Behavioral Inhibition System) nad systemem pobudzenia BAS (Behavioral Activation System)] i wybranymi funkcjami poznawczymi (m.in. prędkość przetwarzania, uwaga, pamięć operacyjna i pamięć wzrokowo-przestrzenna). Te ostatnie, jak potwierdzają badania w tej grupie (depresja nawracająca) i w innych grupach (np. schizofrenia) pacjentów, mogą być obniżone także w okresie remisji. W pracy przedstawiono proste i zarazem dostępne narzędzia od lat wykorzystywane w pracy klinicznej neuropsychologów i psychologów oraz ilościowe metody zbierania danych (qEEG, aktygrafia, posturografia).

“…Several studies showed greater posture instability in EC condition in patients with MDD compared to healthy control (HC), which was likely related to deficits in the integration of visual and proprioceptive inputs necessary for efficient posture control ( Deschamps et al, 2014 , 2015 ).…”

“…Studies of another type investigated the disruptive effects of depression on seemingly automatic by nature postural performance in divided attention tasks ( Doumas et al, 2012 ; Deschamps et al, 2015 ). In terms of posture control assessment, the absolute dual-tasking cost for a given task is simply the amount by which mean of the path of CoPDs increased from single- to dual-task conditions.…”

“…In terms of posture control assessment, the absolute dual-tasking cost for a given task is simply the amount by which mean of the path of CoPDs increased from single- to dual-task conditions. The researchers investigated dual-tasking costs by combining low or highly challenging cognitive tasks with primary posture control ( Doumas et al, 2012 ; Deschamps et al, 2015 ; Bazanova et al, 2017 ). Findings from these dual-tasking investigations posture–cognitive paradigms evidenced executive control deficits in MDD patients that affect both cognitive and sensorimotor task performance ( Doumas et al, 2012 ; Deschamps et al, 2015 ).…”

Background: Recent studies have demonstrated that the assessment of postural performance may be a potentially reliable and objective marker of the psychomotor retardation (PMR) in the major depressive disorder (MDD). One of the important facets of MDD-related PMR is reflected in disrupted central mechanisms of psychomotor control, heavily influenced by compelling maladaptive depressive rumination. In view of this we designed a research paradigm that included sequential execution of simple single-posture task followed by more challenging divided attention posture tasks, involving concurring motor and ideomotor workloads. Another difficulty dimension assumed executing of all the tasks with eyes open (EO) (easy) and closed (EC) (difficult) conditions. We aimed at investigating the interplay between the severity of MDD, depressive rumination, and efficiency of postural performance.Methods: Compared with 24 age- and body mass index-matched healthy controls (HCs), 26 patients with MDD sequentially executed three experimental tasks: (1) single-posture task of maintaining a quiet stance (ST), (2) actual posture-motor dual task (AMT); and (3) mental/imaginary posture-motor dual task (MMT). All the tasks were performed in the EO and the EC conditions. The primary dependent variable was the amount of kinetic energy (E) expended for the center of pressure deviations (CoPDs), whereas the absolute divided attention cost index showed energy cost to the dual-tasking vs. the single-posture task according to the formula: ΔE = (EDual-task - ESingle-task).Results: The signs of PMR in the MDD group were objectively indexed by deficient posture control in the EC condition along with overall slowness of fine motor and ideomotor activity. Another important and probably more challenging feature of the findings was that the posture deficit manifested in the ST condition was substantially and significantly attenuated in the MMT and AMT performance dual-tasking activity. A multiple linear regression analysis evidenced further that the dual-tasking energy cost (i.e., ΔE) significantly predicted clinical scores of severity of MDD and depressive rumination.Conclusion: The findings allow to suggest that execution of concurrent actual or imaginary fine motor task with closed visual input deallocates attentional resources from compelling maladaptive depressive rumination thereby attenuating severity of absolute dual-tasking energy costs for balance maintenance in patients with MDD.Significance: Quantitative assessment of PMR through measures of the postural performance in dual-tasking may be useful to capture the negative impact of past depressive episodes, optimize the personalized treatment selection, and improve the understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying MDD.
