Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Objectives: The main objective is to assess the effects of dance practice on cognitive and motor functions for persons after stroke. The secondary objective is to investigate the effects of dance on quality of life, motivation and adherence. The investigator's hypothesis is that the practice of dance induces an increase of balance and motor capacities, and improving the quality of life, adherence and motivation after a stroke.
Materials and method :
Forty-eight subjects with stroke in subacute phase will be randomized into two groups: 1) intervention (dance and standard rehabilitation) and 2) control (standard rehabilitation). Before intervention, stroke severity, cognitive abilities and motor capacities will be tested. Two baseline tests will occur to assess the stability of individuals will be planned. Participants will attend a dance class weekly during 6 weeks. The cognitive and motor functions (balance, lower-limbs strength, coordination and motor level), the quality of life (Stroke-specific quality of life scale) will be measured at 4 and 6 weeks in both groups. Participant satisfaction with regard to dance will be tested, as well as adherence and adverse effects.
Perspectives:
The joy of dancing and the possibility of including other non-disabled people should facilitate adherence and motivation and increase the recovery of cognitive and motor functions.This project should motivate physiotherapists and dance teachers to increase the offer of dance classes for persons with motor and cognitive impairments.This action will be a basis for combating people's sedentary lifestyle after a stroke.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Dance
Dance Standard rehabilitation post-stroke
Dance
One group will receive a 60-minute dance class weekly over a 6 weeks period. A physiotherapist - dance teacher will lead the classes, supported by at least one volunteer.
The class structure will consist of five components: warm up (10 minutes), technical exercises (10 minutes), improvisation (15 minutes), a short routine (15 minutes) and a cool down/feedback time (10 minutes). Dance exercises will be targeting flexibility, balance, endurance, upper and lower limbs functions, interaction between dancers, perception and memory. Using choreography or short routine, the class will include repeating the dance moves - which fosters memorization - and also the additional challenge of remembering a sequence of moves.
Given the great variability of each participant's functional ability, the complexity and the intensity of the dance exercises will progress according to each participant's capacity, in order to fulfill an appropriate challenge at moderate treatment intensity.
Standard rehabilitation
The control group will have conventional rehabilitation as usually planned in the rehabilitation center: 45 to 60 minutes of physiotherapy per day integrating sensory stimulation, motor activation, strengthening, coordination, balance and exercise training. Patients also receive 45 to 60 minutes of occupational therapy per day.
Control
Standard rehabilitation post-stroke
Standard rehabilitation
The control group will have conventional rehabilitation as usually planned in the rehabilitation center: 45 to 60 minutes of physiotherapy per day integrating sensory stimulation, motor activation, strengthening, coordination, balance and exercise training. Patients also receive 45 to 60 minutes of occupational therapy per day.
