Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of a therapeutic dance program developed in a school environment on different parameters of structure and function, activity and participation according to the ICF framework in children with functional diversity.

Researchers will compare the effects of eight months of therapeutic dance classes (consisting of two one-hour sessions per week) on ICF parameters to the effects of no intervention.

Detailed Description

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

This randomized clinical trial is designed to determine the effect of therapeutic dance developed in a school environment on different parameters of structure, function, activity, and participation according to the ICF framework in children with functional diversity. The study will include around 30 participants between the ages of 3 and 14.

Participants will be selected from five collaborating educational centers. Participants will be selected after an interview with teachers and after meeting the inclusion criteria. All families must sign an informed consent form allowing their child to participate. Each educational center will be randomly assigned to the intervention or control group.

The protocol includes two sessions per week from October to May. Each session lasts one hour. There will be two evaluations: one before the intervention begins and one at the end of the protocol. The primary outcomes include motor function, balance, walking speed, quality of life as perceived by patients and caregivers, and participation in daily activities.

This study adheres to the CONSORT guidelines and the Declaration of Helsinki, and it has been reviewed by an ethics committee.
