“…Hackney and Earhart 7 demonstrated, through dance with partners and without partners, that after 20 dance sessions, there was an increase in the length of the pitch and the speed of the walk, besides the balance improvement. According to the findings by Sowalsky et al 26 and Bearss et al, 27 prolonged dance intervention in patients with PD produced satisfactory results for speed and cadence, as well as improving mobility and balance during gait. 28 On the basis of these results, we conclude that dance promotes beneficial effects for gait and may be used as a therapeutic intervention for PD treatment.…”

Parkinson disease causes several changes in gait, such as postural stability, which consequently induces fall risk factors and loss of quality of life. Alternative forms of treatment through rhythmic and dance stimuli have been used to minimize the Parkinson disease effects, which have been shown to be effective in improving gait and providing social well-being and quality of life in the patient. Aim: This review aims to demonstrate the efficiency of music and dance for gait improvement and symptom alleviation in Parkinson disease. Methodology: Studies that analyzed sound stimuli and dance in gait improvement in Parkinson disease were searched through PubMed, Scopus, Doaj, MEDLINE, and ScienceDirect databases from November 2017 to April 2018 and repeated in September 2018. Results and Discussion: Forty-five studies met the inclusion criteria to synthesize the findings on dance and music performance as a treatment for classical symptoms of Parkinson disease. Five reviews and 40 experimental papers have shown that rhythmic stimulation and dance provide the motor, cognitive, and quality of life benefits for participants with Parkinson disease. Thus, sound stimuli and dance offer satisfactory effects for gait, improving cognitive abilities such as motor control and adjustment and spatial memory. In addition, these new treatment modalities stimulate the elderly population to practice physical exercise, generating well-being and helping self-esteem. Conclusion: Dance and music therapy interventions are noninvasive, simple treatment options, which promote gait and cognition.

“…Parkinson's disease (PD) has been shown to promote motor symptoms of progressive physical limitation, such as stiffness, bradykinesia, tremor, postural instability, balance, gait di culties and disability in functional performance [1], as well as promoting non-motor symptoms such as mood swings, cognitive de cits, fatigue, depressive symptoms and anxiety [2,3,4]. It is a disease characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and accumulation of ill-folded alpha-synuclein, found in intracytoplasmic inclusions called Lewy Bodies [5]; PD incidence rates are estimated to range from 8 to 18 per 100,000 person-years [6].…”

Background: Motor and non-motor symptoms affect the life of those living with Parkinson's disease, and it is clear that exercise offers benefits in these aspects. However, the effects of adapted functional training interventions and the Mat Pilates as a form of rehabilitation for the disease in question have not yet been established. Thus, this study aims to propose an adapted functional training protocol and Mat Pilates for individuals with Parkinson's disease and to evaluate the effects on motor symptoms (balance, cardiorespiratory fitness, lower and upper limb strength, flexibility and agility), as well as , in non-motor symptoms (cognition, depressive symptoms, mood state, anxiety and finitude) by means of a randomized controlled trial. Methods: Protocol for a randomized clinical trial in which 45 individuals with Parkinson's disease will be recruited and randomly allocated to one of three groups: (1) functional training; (2) Mat Pilates; (3) control group. Both intervention groups will have 60-minute classes twice a week for 12 weeks. The primary outcome will be analyzed by balancing with the Mini-BESTest test. Secondary outcomes will include cognition, aging perspective, mood, anxiety, depression, mobility, muscle strength, handgrip strength, flexibility, range of motion, and cardiorespiratory fitness. The evaluations will be performed in the pre-intervention period (baseline), after 12 weeks of intervention, after 3 months, 6 months and 1 year of intervention. Discussion: This will be the first randomized trial to compare the effects of functional training and Mat Pilates in a population with Parkinson's disease. It is hypothesized that improvements in motor and non-motor symptoms will be greater and more lasting after functional training and Mat Pilates interventions than those that maintain their routine activities, given the benefits of exercise and the unprecedented protocols in this disease.Trial registrationRegistry name: Registro Brasileiro de Ensaios Clínicos (ReBEC)Registration number: RBR-6ckggnDate of registration: September 29, 2020.

“…High level evidence has shown improvements in both the motor and non-motor symptoms associated with the condition [2,3]. Specifically, systematic review and meta-analysis has shown positive impact of dance on quantitative, clinical measures of disease severity [4], balance [3,[5][6][7], gait endurance and speed (stride length) [3,[5][6][7][8], upper limb function, falls [7,9], cognitive function, activity participation and fatigue [5] when compared to no intervention in PwP. When considering the effects of dance on more specific measures of biomechanical movement, Hulbert et al [10] used 3-D motion analysis in a gait laboratory, in a pre-post experimental design to show a positive effect on the coordination of head and pelvis rotation during turning following 10 weeks of twice weekly ballroom dancing.…”
