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 trial tests whether a playful animal-themed exercise program helps children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) improve their movement skills. It is for children who have not had any treatment in the last 6 months.
This study tests whether adaptive dance activities can help people in early stroke recovery regain movement and function. You would participate in dance-based exercises during your hospital stay as part of your stroke care.
This study tests whether dance therapy can help people regain better movement and balance after a stroke. Participants learn to dance in a group setting, which may improve walking, coordination, and overall quality of life.
This study tests a movement therapy called Dynamic Movement Intervention to help children with spastic diplegia (a type of cerebral palsy) improve their walking and balance. It may be a good fit if your child is between 4 and 7, can walk short distances, and has mild muscle tightness.
