Cerebral palsy (CP) impacts motor functions such as balance, limits of stability and walking, and may also affect other functions such as attention and rhythm production. Motor and non-motor deficits lead to difficulties in daily life activities. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a dance intervention on balance in adolescents with CP. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the effects of this intervention on walking speed, attention, and rhythm production.
A pre-post design study with a double baseline was conducted on ten adolescents with CP in order to assess the effects of a 10-week dance intervention. The dance intervention focused on improving balance and limits of stability. Outcomes on static and dynamic balance were evaluated with clinical and laboratory tests before and after the intervention. Walking speed, attention, and rhythm production were also evaluated before and after the intervention.
Balance improved after the dance intervention as assessed with both the clinical tests and a laboratory test. Rhythm production also improved after the dance intervention.
Results suggest that a 10-week dance intervention is an effective activity to improve static and dynamic balance as well as rhythmic production in adolescents with CP.
脑瘫（CP）会影响平衡、稳定性极限和行走等运动功能，也可能影响注意力和节奏产生等其他功能。运动和非运动缺陷导致日常生活活动困难。本研究的主要目的是评估舞蹈干预对 CP 青少年平衡的影响。次要目标是评估这种干预对行走速度、注意力和节奏产生的影响。
对 10 名 CP 青少年进行了前后设计研究，并进行了双基线，以评估 10 周舞蹈干预的效果。舞蹈干预侧重于改善平衡和稳定性极限。干预前后通过临床和实验室测试评估静态和动态平衡的结果。干预前后还评估了行走速度、注意力和节奏产生。
舞蹈干预后，临床测试和实验室测试均显示平衡得到改善。舞蹈干预后节奏产生也得到改善。
结果表明，为期 10 周的舞蹈干预是一种有效的活动，可以改善 CP 青少年的静态和动态平衡以及节奏感。
