Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The proposed control intervention trial, aims to analyse the effects of Dance in the turning characteristics in patients with Parkinson Disease (PD) using three- dimensional (3D) analysis during the timed up and go (TUG) test.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Experimental Design: control intervention non-randomized trial. Search Location: University of Wolverhaptom, Walsall Campus, United Kingdom; Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Participants: 15 adults aged between 50 and 80 years, with a clinical diagnosis of idiopathic PD, staging between 1 and 4 of the Hoehn \& Yahr Scale, recruited from Dance for Parkinson's Projects, West-Midlands County, United Kingdom, and from Parkinson's UK (United Kingdom).

Interventions: Dance intervention for 3 months, 2 times/week (1 instructor lecture session and 1 home session following a prepared video), 2 hours per week. Controls, not alter their personal lifestyle, but undergo the same testing as the exercise intervention group.

Outcomes: clinical-functional parameters (number of steps and total time of the 180 turning phase of the Timed up and go Test - TUG - and biomechanics parameter - girdle dissociation) Data Analysis: Data will be described by average values and standard deviation values. All statistical analyses will be carried out using SPSS version 23, and Microsoft Excel Program version 16.44. The significance level is set at p\<0.05. The Cohen's d is going to be used to predict effect interpreted as small d= 0.2, medium d=0.5, and large d=0.8, and 95% confidence intervals were presented.

Study Groups

Dance

Dance intervention for 3 months, 2 times/week (1 instructor lecture session and 1 home session following a prepared video), 2 hours per week. Dance is a safe and effective form of activity, which has been used in PD population (Delabary et al., 2017; Sharp and Hewitt, 2014). Participants take part in a dance class specifically for people with PD lead by a qualified dance instructor. The dance class typically include a warm-up, dance related activities (specific to the genre of the class) and a cool-down.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Dance

Intervention Type OTHER

The dance program consists of 3 months of dance classes. Classes are specifically designed for people with Parkisnon's and lead by a qualified dance instructor experienced in teaching this population. The in-person dance classes are conducted in an appropriate room with chairs and ballet barres once a week. In addition, the participants received a CD containing a video of the recorded dance routine to be performed at home once a week. The class typically included a warm-up (10-15 min.), barre ballet exercises (10-15 min.), general dance-related activities (15-20 min), and a cool-down (10-15 min).

Control Group

Controls, not alter their personal lifestyle, but undergo the same testing as the exercise intervention group.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

No intervention

Intervention Type OTHER

Controls, not alter their personal lifestyle, but will undergo the same testing as the exercise intervention group.
