Rhythm and dance learning in children with motor disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how rhythm affects learning dance moves in children ages 8 to 16, both those with motor disorders (like cerebral palsy or developmental coordination disorder) and those without. It may help understand how to make movement therapy more effective.

This study tests if a fun, rhythmic dance program can help children with cerebral palsy improve their learning skills. It compares the dance program to usual care to see if dancing helps with thinking and moving.
This study tests whether imagining movements and watching others move can help children with cerebral palsy (a condition affecting one side of the body) improve their motor function and everyday abilities. Researchers want to see if these mental and visual techniques work better than standard care.
This study tests whether intensive music-based rehabilitation can improve thinking and learning skills in children with combined neurodevelopmental conditions like ADHD, dyslexia, or coordination difficulties. It aims to see if the therapy helps more than standard care.
This study looks at how motor skills (like catching, jumping) and sensory processing (how the brain handles sights, sounds, touch) are related in children with and without certain developmental differences. The goal is to better understand these connections to help support children's development.
This study tests whether dancing with your family can help children with motor challenges move better and have fun. It aims to see if this kind of therapy is practical and enjoyable for children ages 3 to 14.
This study tests whether dance therapy can help children with mild autism. It involves regular dance sessions to see if they improve social and emotional skills.
