Detailed Description

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

Purpose: The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of line dancing on balance, anxiety, depression and quality of life for people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS).

Methods: This study was conducted prospective parallel-group design study. 31 PwMS were randomized two groups. The dance group undertook 60-minute sessions twice a week for four weeks and the control group did not do any particular training during this period. The outcome were measured using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54 (MSQoL-54) by an evaluator blinded to the study.

dance group

The dance group, each patient received a goal-oriented line dancing program.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

line dancing

Intervention Type OTHER

The intervention included 60-minute sessions, two days a week for four weeks for a total of eight sessions. All sessions were administered by the physiotherapist who has 26 years of experience in dance therapy. The dance was performed on a one to one basis with minimal support from the therapist. The line dancing sequence, which was specially created for this training program, was designed as a structured goal-oriented dance. Line dancing movements/steps are comprised of moving forward and backward, or sideways and turns and scuff. In addition, the fact that one foot is always in contact with the ground makes it ideal for patients with multiple sclerosis, who may have balance problems.

control

The control group did not receive any treatment program during this period.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
