Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this research is to examine effects of movement training with the aid of rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) on reducing severity of dyskinesia and bradykinesia in at-risk individuals and schizophrenia patients. The investigators hypothesize that training with the aid of RAS reduced severity of bradykinesia and dyskinesia in at-risk individuals as well as in schizophrenia patients.
