Figures and movements in Latin dance are effectively used to provide posture stabilization and balance control. A Computerized Dynamic Posturography can be used to complete a functional evaluation of postural control and stability in static and dynamic conditions, mediated by the interaction between the visual, vestibular, and somatosensory systems.
According to the results of Computerized Dynamic Posturography, do dancers have better postural control and stability when compared to non-dancers, and can dance activity be recommended for vestibular rehabilitation?
Our study included 26 professional Latin dancers and 26 non-dancers as a control group whoboth had no problems with their hearing or balance. Pure-tone audiometry and Computerized Dynamic Posturography tests were applied to the participants. The test results for the professional dancers and the control group were compared and evaluated. In statistical analysis, the Mann-Whitney U and Independent Samples T tests were used. A value of p < 0.05 was accepted for significance.
According to the results of the Computerized Dynamic Posturography, the dancers generally performed better than the control group. While statistically significant and better performances were observed in dancers in terms of the composite balance, visual and vestibular scores within the scope of the Sensory Organization Test (p < 0.05), no statistically significant difference was found for somatosensory and preference scores (p > 0.05). Also, significant differences were obtained between the two groups in some subtests of Adaptation, Unilateral Stance and Limits of Stability assessment (p < 0.05). No significant difference was observed in Rhythmic Weight Shift results (p > 0.05).
The results of thisresearch demonstrate that balance and posture improve through dance. Therefore, adding appropriate dance activities to vestibular rehabilitation programmes might be helpful.
拉丁舞中的姿势和动作可以有效地用于提供姿势稳定和平衡控制。计算机动态姿势描记术可用于完成在静态和动态条件下对姿势控制和稳定性的功能评估，由视觉、前庭和本体感觉系统之间的相互作用介导。
根据计算机动态姿势描记术的结果，与非舞者相比，舞者是否具有更好的姿势控制和稳定性，并且可以推荐舞蹈活动作为前庭康复？
我们的研究包括 26 名专业拉丁舞演员和 26 名非舞者作为对照组，他们的听力或平衡均无问题。对参与者进行纯音听力测试和计算机动态姿势描记术测试。将专业舞者和对照组的测试结果进行比较和评估。在统计分析中，使用了 Mann-Whitney U 和独立样本 T 检验。接受 p<0.05 为显著。
根据计算机动态姿势描记术的结果，舞者的表现普遍优于对照组。虽然在 Sensory Organization Test 范围内，舞者在综合平衡、视觉和前庭分数方面表现出统计学上显著且更好的表现（p<0.05），但在本体感觉和偏好分数方面没有统计学上的显著差异（p>0.05）。此外，在适应、单侧站立和稳定性极限评估的某些子测试中，两组之间存在显著差异（p<0.05）。在节奏重量转移结果方面未观察到显著差异（p>0.05）。
这项研究的结果表明，舞蹈可以改善平衡和姿势。因此，在前庭康复计划中加入适当的舞蹈活动可能会有所帮助。
