ABSTRACT
INTRODUÇÃO: Dificuldades de locomoção e equilíbrio são comuns entre os indivíduos com doença de Parkinson (DP). Vários programas diferentes de exercícios foram sugeridos para tratar de problemas de equilíbrio e de marcha para melhorar a qualidade de vida e a adesão do paciente aos exercícios de DP. A dança pode ser uma ferramenta eficaz para resolver esses problemas porque inclui elementos-chave de equilíbrio dinâmico, pode melhorar a mobilidade funcional e, ao mesmo tempo, é agradável e envolvente. OBJETIVOS: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito do movimento de dança Kathak além da fisioterapia convencional no equilíbrio e na marcha em pacientes com doença de Parkinson. MÉTODOS E MATERIAIS: Um total de 44 pacientes diagnosticados com Parkinson foram incluídos no estudo com uma idade média de 63,20 + 8,5 anos. Os pacientes foram divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos, o grupo controle recebeu fisioterapia convencional, e o grupo experimental recebeu o mesmo juntamente com movimentos de dança Kathak que foram Tatkar e Gatnikas. A intervenção foi dada três dias por semana durante quatro semanas. A pré e pós-avaliação para equilíbrio e marcha foi avaliada por escalas incluindo o teste TUG, Tinetti, FOG-Q e UPDRS-III. A comparação dentro do grupo foi feita usando o teste Wilcoxon Signed rank e entre o grupo usando o teste Mann Whitney U para ver o efeito da intervenção de tratamento. RESULTADOS: A idade média dos participantes de ambos os grupos foi de 64,18±8,53 e 62,23±6,21, respectivamente. A comparação mostrou uma diferença significativa em TUG, Tinetti, e FOG-Q dentro do grupo com p<0,01. A comparação entre grupos não mostrou diferença significativa entre as duas intervenções de tratamento com p=0,361 para TUG, p=0,479 para Tinetti, e p= 0,73 para FOG-Q. CONCLUSÃO: Ambos os grupos mostraram melhorias semelhantes no equilíbrio e na marcha de pacientes com DP. Assim, concluímos que o movimento da Dança Kathak pode ser usado para complementar os exercícios de fisioterapia convencional.
INTRODUCTION: Difficulties with gait and balance are common among individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Several different exercise programs have been suggested to address balance and gait problems to improve the quality of life and patient compliance with PD exercises. Dance may be an effective tool for addressing these problems because it includes key elements of dynamic balance, can improve functional mobility, and is, at the same time, enjoyable and engaging. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of Kathak dance movement in addition to conventional physiotherapy on balance and gait in Parkinson's disease patients. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A total of 44 patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease were included in the study with a mean age of 63.20 + 8.5 years. Patients were randomly divided into two groups, the control group received conventional physiotherapy, and the experimental group received the same along with Kathak dance movements which were Tatkar and Gatnikas. The intervention was given three days a week for four weeks. Preand post-assessment for balance and gait was assessed by scales including TUG test, Tinetti, FOG-Q, and UPDRS-III. The within-group comparison was made using Wilcoxon Signed rank test and between the group using the Mann Whitney U test to see the effect of treatment intervention. RESULTS: The mean age of participants for both groups were 64.18±8.53 and 62.23±6.21, respectively. The comparison showed a significant difference in TUG, Tinetti, and FOG-Q within the group with p<0.01. The between-group comparison showed no significant difference between the two treatments interventions with p=0.361 for TUG, p=0.479 for Tinetti, and p= 0.73 for FOG-Q. CONCLUSION: Both groups showed similar improvements in balance and gait in PD patients. Thus, we conclude that the Kathak Dance movement can be used to complement conventional physical therapy exercises.

Objective:To explore application value of dance movement therapy in the chemotherapy of young and middle-aged patients with breast cancer, so as to provide reference for rehabilitation nursing.Methods:By convenient sampling method, 90 young and middle-aged female breast cancer patients during chemotherapy from June 2020 to June 2021 in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were enrolled in the present study. They were assiged to experimental group and control group with 45 cases in each group according to the enrolled ward. The control group received routine nursing and the experimental group received 4 cycles of dance movement therapy. Before and after intervention, the effects were assessed by Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS) and Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) as well as biochemical nutrition indexes.Results:After intervention, the physical fatigue score, emotional fatigue score, cognitive fatigue score and total CFS score were (8.29 ± 3.58), (7.74 ± 1.68), (5.57 ± 1.11), (21.59 ± 4.41) points in the experimental group, which were significantly lower than (9.86 ± 3.49), (8.95 ± 2.62), (6.27 ± 1.70), (25.09 ± 4.33) points in the control group ( t values were 2.07-3.71, all P<0.05). After intervention, the PG-SGA score was (2.81 ± 0.71) points in the experimental group, which was significantly lower than (3.29 ± 1.15) points in the control group ( t=2.37, P<0.05). Conclusions:Dance movement therapy can alleviate the cancer related fatigue and promote nutritional status of young and middle-aged female breast cancer patients with chemotherapy.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the dance movement therapy on nutritional status and muscle strength in older patients with sarcopenia.Methods:A total of 35 older sarcopenia patients from May 2019 to April 2020 in Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University were enrolled as the intervention group with dance movement therapy; another 35 older sarcopenia patients from May 2018 to April 2019 were selected as control group with routine exercise intervention. Nutritional indicators and muscle strength were compared between two groups on admission, at 1, 3, 6 months after intervention.Results:At 3, 6 months after intervention, hemoglobin and body mass index were (124.10 ± 16.59) g/L, (128.33 ± 14.50) g/L and (21.40 ± 1.87) kg/m 2, (21.40 ± 1.87) kg/m 2 in the intervention group, higher than in the control group (116.03 ± 12.23) g/L, (120.09 ± 11.34) g/L and (20.03 ± 1.93) kg/m 2, (19.97 ± 1.99) kg/m 2. The differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.17-2.84, all P<0.05). At 6 months after intervention, serum albumin was (33.73 ± 5.23) g/L in the intervention group, significantly higher than that in the control group (30.88 ± 5.17) g/L, the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.16, P<0.05). At 3, 6 months after intervention, muscle strength were (21.63 ± 1.54) kg, (23.17 ± 1.72) kg and short physical performance battery scores were 7.83 ± 1.56, 7.47 ± 1.59 in the intervention group, significantly higher than in the control group (19.66 ± 2.50) kg, (20.91 ± 2.83) kg and 6.59 ± 1.64, 5.97 ± 1.49, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 3.05-3.83, all P<0.05). At 6 months after intervention, appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) was (6.03 ± 1.47) kg/m 2 in the intervention group, significantly higher than (5.13 ± 1.36) kg/m 2 in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.52, P<0.05). Conclusions:Dance movement therapy can improve the nutritional status and muscle strength of older patients with sarcopenia.
ABSTRACT
Resumo O artigo apresenta e discute as atuais abordagens que se utilizam do corpo em movimento com propósito terapêutico, assinalando o contexto histórico de seu desenvolvimento e destacando seus principais conceitos e práticas. Identificamos as propostas psicoterápicas mais citadas na literatura acadêmica e no contexto de atuação profissional, em especial a dança-movimento terapia, abarcando oito principais abordagens, e as danças terapêuticas, não estritamente pertencentes ao campo psicoterápico, como a biodança e os grupos que aliam dança contemporânea aos princípios da educação somática. Sistematizamos em quadro comparativo as abordagens apresentadas, discutindo suas aproximações e seus afastamentos, de modo a contribuir para a identificação mais precisa de cada abordagem e maior diálogo entre as vertentes.
Abstract This article discusses current therapeutic approaches that use the body in motion, noting the historical context and highlighting the main concepts and practices. The most frequently cited psychotherapeutic suggestions in the academic literature and in professional practice are identified, particularly dance/movement therapy (with eight main approaches) and therapeutic dance practices not strictly located within the field of psychotherapy (such as biodance and groups that link contemporary dance with the principles of somatic education). These approaches are compared and contrasted to more precisely identify each approach and augment dialog between them.
