“…The rationale for using MT and DMT in rehabilitation programs is the idea that music and dance are specialized auditory and motor forms that induce specific neuroplastic changes [37]. Therefore, the therapeutic outcomes associated with art-based rehabilitation are potentially distinct to that of traditional physiotherapy [37,[45][46][47][48].…”

Background: Studies have assessed the therapeutic effect of music, dance, and rhythmic auditory cueing for patients with Huntington's disease (HD). However, the synthesis of evidence in support of their positive impact on symptoms is lacking. Objective: We conducted a systematic literature review to evaluate the potential benefits of music, dance, and rhythm on the cognitive, psychiatric and motor function in patients with HD. Methods: Two-and three-keyword searches and a manual search identified medical literature published from 1999 through 2019. We considered literature that assessed outcomes of art-based rehabilitation programs or individual modalities for persons with early, middle, or advanced HD. Structured analysis was conducted using data entry tables with categories for patient health status, art methods, and outcomes. Results: Seven articles and six abstracts met eligibility criteria, of which nine evaluated art-based rehabilitation programs. Studies mainly assessed cognitive, psychiatric, and motor functions through music, dance, or rhythm modalities. Although results were conflicting, in summary improvements to motor function were dependent on disease severity and more responsive to art therapy programs than rhythm-motor synchronization. Benefits to global cognition that resulted from rhythmic training correlated with microstructural changes. Qualitative data verified a positive impact on language production, chorea, behavior, and quality of life. Conclusion: Our review has shown a potential benefit of music, dance, and rhythm for patients with HD, which is particularly important for a disease that has no cure. Art forms seemed to affect cognitive, psychiatric, motor, psychosocial, and neuroanatomical domains. However, evidence is preliminary, warranting further investigation to establish the foundation for this field.

“…The positive effect of the dance intervention programs on the endurance ability in seniors is mentioned in many types of research (Cruz-Ferreira et al, 2015;Hui et al, 2009). Similarly, Shanahan et al (2016) in the results of their study suggest that the regular participation of seniors in dance sessions is associated not only with the increasing level of endurance ability but also by raising of balance ability and with many health benefits and also by improving the quality of life.…”

Objective: The major objective of this study was to investigate the influence of six months dance intervention program on the level of functional fitness and postural stability in the elderly. Methods: The exercise program was carried out three times a week and included 60 dance exercise sessions. 60 elderly participated in the study (67.5 ± 5.69 years), 30 in a dance intervention group (weight: 70.32 ± 13.59kg; BMI 25.95 ± 3.79 kg/m 2 ), 30 in a control group (weight: 76.93 ± 15.45kg; BMI 27.06 ± 3.88 kg/m 2 ). Three subtests (6Min Walk Test, Chair Stand Test, 8 Foot up and Go Test) were used to determine the level of functional fitness from the Senior fitness test battery; the static posturography method assessed the level of balance abilities in one position. Results: The most meaningful results to emerge from the data are that the intervention dance program led to a post-exercise increase in the level of agility, dynamic balance and reaction speed measured by 8 Foot up Go test in the intervention group. The results indicate a statistically significant difference value in the intervention group compared to the control group between post-test results (p = 0.01). Values of the other monitored parameters were not statistically significant. The Cohen coefficient d reflects the low (8 Foot up and Go test, 6 Min Walk test) or medium value (Chair Stand test) of the intervention program›s effectiveness. Conclusions: Our study suggests, that intervention dance program could significantly improve the level of agility, dynamic balance and reaction speed.

“…Em decorrência desta constatação para a manutenção da saúde como um todo, e consequentemente, da QV, o exercício físico regular pode retardar os declínios relacionados ao envelhecimento, proporcionando maior longevidade, redução das taxas de morbidade e mortalidade e manutenção da independência e da autonomia, melhorando a autoimagem e a autoestima. 24 De acordo com Sebastião 25 em vista disso, pesquisadores da área das ciências da saúde, entre elas a Educação Física, intensificam pesquisas na tentativa de minimizar os efeitos maléficos do envelhecimento.…”

“…Posto isso, o presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar o nível de QV de idosas praticantes de dança. 24 itens do módulo WHOQOL-OLD podem ser combinados para produzir um escore geral ("global") para a QV em adultos idosos. A pontuação do módulo pode então consistir em um conjunto de perfil de seis escores de facetas.…”

Objetivo: analisar o nível de qualidade de vida de idosas praticantes de dança. Método: trata-se de um estudo transversal com abordagem quantitativa com 47 idosas praticantes de dança. Para a coleta dos dados, foram utilizados os instrumentos WHOQOL-OLD e WHOQOL-BREF para avaliar a qualidade de vida. Os dados foram apresentados por meio da estatística descritiva (média, desvio padrão, frequências absoluta e relativa e tabelas). Resultados: as idosas apresentaram satisfatório nível de qualidade de vida em todos os domínios e facetas de qualidade de vida, sendo que o domínio físico (16,1 ± 2,0) e a faceta de Morte e Morrer (16,7 ± 3,2) apresentaram valores superiores. Conclusão: a prática regular de dança é um elemento importante para promover a saúde e a qualidade de vida na longevidade. ABSTRACTIntroduction: quality of life is fundamental to promote the health of the elderly. Objective: to analyze the quality of life of elderly women practicing dance. Method: this is a cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach with 47 elderly women practicing dance. To collect the data, the WHOQOL-OLD and WHOQOL-BREF instruments were used to evaluate quality of life. Data were presented through descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, absolute and relative frequencies and tables). Results: the elderly presented a satisfactory level of quality of life in all domains and facets of quality of life. The physical domain (16.1 ± 2.0) and the Death and Dying facet (16.7 ± 3, 2) presented higher values. Conclusion: regular dance practice is an important element in promoting longevity health and quality of life.
