Abstract

Background: This study built upon previous quasi-experimental design research studying the effectiveness of a 12-week dance therapy program for persons with a physical disability (DTPD) aiming to improve mobility.

Methods: We conducted a single-case experimental design (SCED), including pre- and post-interventions measures, with seven participants with repeated measures during pre-dance (A1), dance program (B) and post-dance phases (A2).

Results: Five participants completed the study and significantly (p < 0.05) improved their scores on the MiniBESTest; 2/5 and 4/5 improved scores for the 4 Square Step Test and the Multidirectional Reach Test-Behind, respectively, with very large effect size (ES). Aggregated ES (A1-A2) went from moderate to very large.

Conclusions: Results support the effectiveness of the DTPD program for adults with neurological conditions, and for the use of SCED to explore effectiveness of dance interventions for heterogeneous cohorts.

采用单例实验设计，探讨临床舞蹈治疗方案对神经系统疾病成人活动能力的影响。

背景:本研究建立在先前的准实验设计研究的基础上，研究了12周的舞蹈治疗计划对身体残疾人士(DTPD)的有效性，旨在提高他们的行动能力。方法:我们进行了单例实验设计(SCED)，包括干预前和干预后的措施，7名参与者在舞蹈前(A1)、舞蹈节目(B)和舞蹈后(A2)阶段重复测量。结果:五名参与者完成了这项研究，并且显著(p)结论:结果支持DTPD计划对患有神经系统疾病的成年人的有效性，并支持使用SCED探索舞蹈干预对异质队列的有效性。
