“…Second, from a translational perspective, engaging in mental and physical exercises that require precise timing, balance, and motor coordination during practice (e.g., musical drumming, piano playing, flamenco dancing, video gaming, etc.) should improve not only our sense of time, but also other cognitive processes (e.g., Krampe and Ericsson, 1996 ; Lustig et al, 2009 ; Donohue et al, 2010 ; Anderson et al, 2012 , 2013 ; Cicchini et al, 2012 ; Kattenstroth et al, 2013 ; Szabo et al, 2013 ; Bamidis et al, 2014 ; Benoit et al, 2014 ; Szelag and Skolimowska, 2014 ; Dallal et al, 2015 ; Kshtriya et al, 2015 ). Moreover, recent results suggest that rhythmical training exercises can counteract the lengthening errors of total duration in rhythmic reproduction observed after 60 years of age (Iannarilli et al, 2013 ).…”

This review outlines the basic psychological and neurobiological processes associated with age-related distortions in timing and time perception in the hundredths of milliseconds-to-minutes range. The difficulty in separating indirect effects of impairments in attention and memory from direct effects on timing mechanisms is addressed. The main premise is that normal aging is commonly associated with increased noise and temporal uncertainty as a result of impairments in attention and memory as well as the possible reduction in the accuracy and precision of a central timing mechanism supported by dopamine-glutamate interactions in cortico-striatal circuits. Pertinent to these findings, potential interventions that may reduce the likelihood of observing age-related declines in timing are discussed. Bayesian optimization models are able to account for the adaptive changes observed in time perception by assuming that older adults are more likely to base their temporal judgments on statistical inferences derived from multiple trials than on a single trial’s clock reading, which is more susceptible to distortion. We propose that the timing functions assigned to the age-sensitive fronto-striatal network can be subserved by other neural networks typically associated with finely-tuned perceptuo-motor adjustments, through degeneracy principles (different structures serving a common function).

“…Scholars in the fields of dance science and dance psychology have begun researching the impact dance practice can have on older adults’ overall health and wellbeing. However, much of this research has investigated and found physical or cognitive benefits ( Keogh et al, 2009 ; Kattenstroth et al, 2010 ; Kshtriya et al, 2015 ; Rodrigues-Krause et al, 2016 ; Fong Yan et al, 2018 ; Meng et al, 2019 ) or focussed on specialized subsets within the aging population ( Guzmán-García et al, 2013 ; Lötzke et al, 2015 ; McNeely et al, 2015a ; Cann, 2016 , p. 191–192; Skinner et al, 2018 ). Yet, it is recognized in the literature that dance-based interventions have great potential to address social isolation and loneliness among older adults ( Crumbie et al, 2015 ), and studies have laid the groundwork for applying dance broadly for this purpose by examining inclusive language and frameworks of delivery ( Houston, 2018 ; Lehikoinen, 2019 ) and suggesting associated policy development ( Cann, 2016 ).…”

Dance Intervention Affects Social Connections and Body Appreciation Among Older Adults in the Long Term Despite COVID-19 Social Isolation: A Mixed Methods Pilot Study

2021

The ability of dance to address social isolation is argued, but there is a lack of both evidence of such an effect and interventions designed for the purpose. An interdisciplinary research team at University of Calgary partnered with Kaeja d’Dance to pilot test the effects of an intervention designed to facilitate embodied social connections among older adults. Within a mixed methods study design, pre and post behavioral tests and qualitative surveys about experiences of the body and connecting were administered to thirteen participants along with test instruments of loneliness and body appreciation. In the short-term, no significant changes were found on quantitative tests. Exploratory analysis revealed intervention improvements on individual body appreciation questions only. This indication of change was strongly supported by converging qualitative data and identified as relating to: increased connection through task-based collaboration, increased awareness of interpersonal boundaries, and a shift to experiencing the body as responsive. These indications of increased relational capacity were deemed likely to cause further impact in the long term. Examining this possibility and the subsequently arisen factor of COVID-19 risks and restrictions, test instruments were administered again to 10 participants 4 and 5 months after the intervention. A significant increase in loneliness was found. Despite this negative impact of COVID-19 isolation, several positive intervention changes remained detectable and some continued to increase over time. Seventy percent of the participants, who made new social contacts during the intervention and later sought continued contact, improved significantly across all body appreciation measures over the full study. The qualitative data from the last two time-points revealed both consistent values and new, negative changes. While these preliminary findings speak to the durability of intervention changes, they also identify areas of urgent priority to help older adults restore embodied relational capacity that has declined during COVID-19. Within the limitations of a small-sample pilot study, converging mixed methods results support the hypothesis that dance interventions designed for the purpose can positively affect the social inclusion of older adults. Although we recommend further study, these promising results also indicate that dance interventions can help older adults recover from pandemic isolation.

“…Ovo istraživanje uključivalo je mjerenje elektromiografom (EMG). Prva hipoteza is- Kombinacija tjelesnih, ritmičkih, kognitivnih i emocionalnih elemenata čini ples kompleksnim i multidimenzionalnim te povećava vjerojatnost utjecanja na više komponenti funkcioniranja osoba s Parkinsonovom bolešću, 16,17 što je vidljivo u svim istraživanjima koja uključuju mjerenje BBS-a. 10,11,12,13,14 Balans je jedan od osnovnih problema osoba starije životne dobi, a posebno osoba s Parkinsonovom bolešću.…”

Uvod: Neka istraživanja ukazuju na to da ples utječe na poboljšanje hoda i balansa osoba s Parkinsonovom bolešću te kako utjecaj glazbe i ritma facilitira kretanje i brzinu kod ljudi s Parkinsonovom bolešću. Blagotvorni učinci ritma i glazbe proizlaze iz aktiviranja neuralnih struktura uključenih u kretanje i određivanje vremena. Metode: Rad je sustavni pregled literature pretraživanjem relevantnih članaka baza podataka PubMed, PE-Dro, LILACS i Cochrane library od 2007. do 2020. godine. Kriteriji su istraživanja koja se bave utjecajem tanga na hod i balans kod osoba s Parkinsonovom bolešću primjenom standardiziranih testova Berg balans skale (BBS), testa Time up and go (TUG) i Unified Parkinsonʼs Disease Rating Scale III (UPDRS-III). Iz sustavnog pregleda literature od ukupno 65 pronađenih radova uključeno je šest članaka koji zadovoljavaju zadane kriterije. Rezultati: Uspoređujući trajanje intervencija, istraživanja su se provodila uglavnom kratkoročno i intenzivno te dugoročno i umjereno. Prakticiranjem tanga u kratkoročnom ili dugoročnom razdoblju dolazi ne samo do poboljšanja balansa nego i povećanja tjelesnog fitnesa. Rezultati kratkoročnih istraživanja pokazala su statistički značajne razlike kod testova UPDRS-III i BBS u korist skupina koje su kao intervenciju imale tango, dok se kod dugoročnih istraživanja uočavaju poboljšanja u balansu i hodu koja se nisu pokazala kod kratkoročne i intenzivne intervencije tangom. Zaključak: Dokazi o poboljšanju funkcionalne mobilnosti i balansa potiču na proširivanje spektra rehabilitacije kod osoba s Parkinsonovom bolešću jer je tango ples koji svojim ritmom, glazbom i širinom koraka itekako pronalazi mjesto u rehabilitaciji osoba s Parkinsonovom bolešću.
