This study explored the feasibility and possible benefits of contact improvisation (CI) as an exercise intervention for individuals with PD.
This was an uncontrolled pilot study.
Eleven people with PD (H&Y=2.4 ± 0.4) participated in a workshop of 10 1.5-h CI classes over 2 weeks, dancing with previously trained student CI dancers.
Measures of disease severity, balance, functional mobility, and gait were compared 1 week before and after the workshop.
Participants demonstrated improvements on the Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale-Motor Subsection and Berg balance scores, along with increased swing and decreased stance percentages during walking. Backward step length also increased. Participants expressed a high level of enjoyment and interest in taking future CI classes.
This pilot study supports the feasibility of CI as an intervention to address mobility limitations associated with PD.
本研究探索接触即兴(CI)作为一种针对 PD 患者的运动干预措施的可行性和潜在益处。
这是一项非对照性的初步研究。
11 名 PD 患者(H&Y=2.4±0.4)参加了为期两周、每次 1.5 小时的 10 次 CI 课程的工作坊,与之前接受过训练的学生 CI 舞者一起跳舞。
在工作坊前和工作坊后 1 周,对疾病严重程度、平衡、功能性移动和步态进行测量。
参与者在统一帕金森病评定量表运动子量表和伯格平衡量表上的得分有所提高,行走时摆动幅度增加,支撑期减少。向后跨步长度也增加了。参与者对未来参加 CI 课程表现出高度的兴趣和享受。
这项初步研究支持了 CI 作为一种干预措施的可行性,可用于解决 PD 相关的移动障碍。
