Objectives: (1) Do dynamic gait patterns of currently and formerly depressed patients differ from never depressed people (2) Does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) normalize gait patterns of formerly depressed patients? Methods: Gait patterns of 30 formerly depressed patients participating in MBCT, 14 currently depressive inpatients and 30 never depressed participants were analyzed by fourier-based descriptions and computation of linear classifiers. Results:  Gait patterns of currently depressed patients and formerly depressed patients differ form never depressed people. MBCT has some normalizing effect on the way patients walk. Conclusions: Mindfulness might change proprioceptive-bodily feedback important in the generation of depressive states.
