To investigate if community-based Irish set dancing is feasible in Irish adults with Parkinson's disease.
Over an eight week period, ten participants attended one set dancing class per week and completed a home programme in parallel. Feasibility was assessed by monitoring adverse effects, participants' verbal feedback, compliance rates and feedback from an exit questionnaire. Participants were assessed using the Berg balance scale, 6-min walk test, UPDRS-3 and PDQ-39, before and after the intervention.
No adverse effects were detected. Attendance at classes was 86%. Compliance with the home programme was 67%. Findings from the exit questionnaire showed participants enjoyed participating and reported improvements in aspects of health including balance. Quality of life improved with the dance programme and there was a trend toward improvement on the UPDRS-3.
These findings suggest community-based Irish set dancing is a feasible form of exercise that can positively influence quality of life.
探讨以社区为基础的爱尔兰集体舞对患有帕金森病的爱尔兰成年人是否可行。
在八周的时间里,十名参与者每周参加一次集体舞课程,并同时完成一项家庭训练计划。通过监测不良反应、参与者的口头反馈、依从率以及退出调查问卷的反馈来评估可行性。在干预前后,使用伯格平衡量表、6分钟步行测试、统一帕金森病评定量表第三部分(UPDRS-3)和帕金森病问卷39项(PDQ-39)对参与者进行评估。
未检测到不良反应。课程出勤率为86%。家庭训练计划的依从率为67%。退出调查问卷的结果显示,参与者喜欢参与其中,并报告在包括平衡在内的健康方面有所改善。舞蹈计划改善了生活质量,并且在UPDRS-3上有改善的趋势。
这些发现表明,以社区为基础的爱尔兰集体舞是一种可行的运动形式,可以对生活质量产生积极影响。
