Falls are considered a public health problem in older adults, and their approach should be multidimensional. Dance emerges as an intervention option that allows different schemes to be integrated in movement enhancement.
To determine the effects of dance on balance, motor function and activities of daily living in older adults at risk of falling.
Exploratory review of the effects of dance in older adults at risk of falling in terms of balance, gait, motor function and activities of daily living. Searches were carried out in PubMed, LILACS, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PEDro, OTSeeker, full text articles were searched in different virtual libraries (ProQuest, Ovid, Ebsco, Science Direct) and manual search was also carried out.
Nineteen studies were found, which report sessions of 45 to 60 minutes for 12 weeks. Dance can be considered a safe intervention that significantly decreases control intervention for balance and gait in older adults.
The results of this work support that dance can be used as an interventional option in older adults at risk of falling.
老年人跌倒被认为是一个公共卫生问题,其处理方法应该是多方面的。舞蹈作为一种干预手段出现,它允许不同的方案整合到运动增强中。
确定舞蹈对有跌倒风险的老年人平衡、运动功能和日常生活活动的影响。
对有跌倒风险的老年人进行舞蹈干预的平衡、步态、运动功能和日常生活活动的效果进行探索性综述。在 PubMed、LILACS、Cochrane 中央对照试验注册中心、PEDro、OTSeeker 进行检索,在不同的虚拟图书馆(ProQuest、Ovid、Ebsco、Science Direct)中搜索全文,并进行手工检索。
共发现 19 项研究,报告了 12 周、每次 45 至 60 分钟的舞蹈课程。舞蹈可以被认为是一种安全的干预措施,它可以显著降低老年人平衡和步态的对照干预。
这项工作的结果支持舞蹈可以作为有跌倒风险的老年人的一种干预选择。
