[Dance therapy in the rehabilitation of neurological diseases].

A literature review of clinical trials on the effectiveness of the use of dance movement therapy in patients with neurological diseases is presented. A systematic review and meta-analysis of the effectiveness of dance movement therapy on non-motor manifestations of Parkinson's disease is presented. Dance movement therapy was found to have a significant positive effect on cognitive impairment, but no effect on depression, fatigue, and apathy. The effectiveness of dance movement therapy in post-stroke rehabilitation is shown. The data of a systematic review are presented, which found that dance movement therapy is effective not only in the rehabilitation of Parkinson's disease and stroke, but also in the rehabilitation of patients with multiple sclerosis, Huntington's disease and the consequences of spinal cord injury.
