Erroneous sensorimotor processing as a transdiagnostic mechanism underlying functional disorders?

Year: 2024

Type: dissertation

Abstract: Functional disorders (FD) are characterized by heterogeneous, persistent, and burdensome bodily symptoms without a clear pathophysiological correlate. Empirical evidence for common underlying mechanisms and objectively measurable markers of FD is lacking. This thesis demonstrates that head instability at the end of gaze shifts is a transdiagnostic marker of sensorimotor processing deficits in persons with functional dizziness or functional movement disorder, but not chronic functional pain.
