“…Across the studies included in this systematic review, three were conducted in the UK [ 27 , 28 , 29 ], two in the US [ 32 , 33 ], and one in Uganda [ 31 ], and one in Canada [ 30 ]. Four studies employed a pre-/post-quantitative study design [ 28 , 30 , 32 , 33 ], one study employed a mixed-method approach with a pre-/post-quantitative study design and qualitative analysis post-intervention [ 29 ], and two studies gathered qualitative data after the intervention only [ 27 , 31 ]. In terms of sample size, six studies had a sample of fewer than or equal to 20, whereas one study had a sample size of 42 [ 33 ].…”

“…As this dancing activity was also associated with a singing activity, patients voiced that this combination of dance and singing “pushed and expanded the lungs” (p. 7, [ 31 ]) and made them “feel they breathed very well” (p. 5, [ 31 ]). In another exploratory qualitative cross-sectional study, Philip et al (2020) [ 27 ] performed thematic analysis to investigate the perceptions of participants of a community dance group for people with chronic pulmonary diseases. The participants reported perceived physical health benefits, such as reduced disease severity, “until I was doing the exercise it was bad” (p. 7, [ 27 ]); improved breathing efficiency, “I think my breathing is better” (p. 1, [ 15 ]); and improved function, “mobility, I think, it’s one of the things that I have found so much better.…”

Dance has been highlighted as one of the most enjoyable, safe, and feasible forms of physical activity, improving physical health, mental health, and general well-being, among various patients. Little is known about the effect and impact of dance interventions to improve health among patients with pulmonary diseases, and research lacks a robust synthesis of evidence. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to investigate the impact of dance intervention on patients with noninfectious pulmonary diseases. Following the PRISMA guidelines, six electronic databases were searched in May 2022. Of the 1308 unique records identified, seven studies (five quantitative, two qualitative) across four countries were included in this systematic review. Six studies investigated adult populations, and one study explored the effect of dance on children. The dance interventions lasted between 1 and 10 weeks. Overall, dance was perceived to have a broad range of physical/mental/social benefits, including quality of life, social cohesion, dyspnoea levels, balance, exercise tolerance, general well-being, and adherence to nutrition regimens. Furthermore, the dance session was the most enjoyable activity among children and adolescents with asthma. With available evidence, dance interventions are promising and may effectively improve health and well-being among patients with noninfectious pulmonary diseases. More organised and continuous long-term dance interventions in future may reveal a detailed impact on health outcomes.

“…Research on Singing for Lung Health (SLH) in the UK suggests participants perceive a range of physical, psychological and social benefits in keeping with our findings 11 18 20 27-29 . Similarly, studies regarding the perceived impacts of dance for people with long-term respiratory conditions in the UK and Canada identify a range of biopsychosocial benefits 10 12 30 . Additionally, an evaluation of SFB Uganda, a singing project for people with CRD in Uganda, provided anecdotal reports that participation was enjoyed 21 , and our findings are broadly in keeping with the evaluation of SFB.…”

IntroductionMusic and dance are increasingly used as adjunctive arts-in-health interventions in high-income settings, with a growing body of research suggesting biopsychosocial benefits. Such low-cost, low-resource interventions may have application in low-resource settings such as Uganda. However, research on perceptions of patients and healthcare professionals regarding such approaches is lacking.MethodsWe delivered taster music and dance for chronic respiratory disease (CRD) sessions to patients and healthcare professionals. We then conducted an exploratory qualitative study, using thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with the healthcare professionals and patients regarding i) the role of music and dance in Ugandan life and ii) the perceived acceptability and feasibility of using music and dance in CRD management in Uganda.ResultsEleven patients with long-term respiratory conditions and eight healthcare professionals were interviewed after selection by purposeful convenience sampling. Four key themes were identified from (interview) analysis: Music and dance: 1) were central components of daily life; 2) had an established role supporting health and wellbeing; 3) had strong therapeutic potential in respiratory disease management; 4) the importance of modulating demographic considerations of culture and religion, and age.ConclusionMusic and dance are central to life in Uganda, with established roles supporting health and wellbeing. These roles could be built on in the development of music and dance interventions as adjuncts to established components of CRD disease management like pulmonary rehabilitation. Through consideration of key contextual factors, and co-development and adaptation of interventions, such approaches are likely to be well received.Summary Box: Key QuestionsWhat is already known?Music and dance are increasingly being used as adjunctive components of CRD management in high resource settings, with a growing body of research suggesting such approaches are effective, well-received, and can be delivered at low cost. However, the perceptions of patients and healthcare professionals about potential application of such approaches in low-resource settings, such as Uganda, is not known.What are the new findings?Music and dance have central roles in the social, religious and cultural life in Uganda, including a clear view that participation supports both collective and individual health and wellbeing. In this study, both healthcare professionals and patients saw great potential for the use of music and dance as interventions for people with CRD, and highlighted important factors for consideration for successful implementation.What do the new findings imply?Music and dance interventions for people with long-term respiratory conditions in Uganda are likely to be accepted with enthusiasm due to the existing role of such activities in daily life. Delivery is likely to be feasible, but interventions would need to be co-developed with patients, their family members, and healthcare professionals, considering a number of key factors. Suggested approaches to address these considerations are provided. More generally, this study highlights how genuine co-design processes can provide valuable insights into health intervention development.

“…Not only does it influence people at the psychological level and affects people's moods, but also implies the experience of fluid movement, posture and body control, which is considered to be an adjuvant therapy when dealing with stiffness, bradykinesia, and postural instability associated, for example, with Parkinson's disease [ 11 ]. This was determined based on the physiological impact of dance on the body, and as a result of the identification of several studies that showed the effects of dance on the improvement of functional capacity, balance, and strength [ 12 ].…”

Objective To describe the use of dance-based intervention protocols as a rehabilitation proposal. Method Papers containing protocols used in adult patients and written in Spanish, English, and Portuguese were collected using the following keywords: Physical Therapy; Dance Therapy; Rehabilitation; and Clinical Trial Protocol. The PUBMED, MEDLINE, LILACS, BVS ScienceDirect, PEDro, OTseeker, The Cochrane Library (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials), and Scopus databases were used for the collection of information to define the type of dance, the established protocol, pathologies, and the population involved. Results 70 studies met the eligibility criteria, all of which presented a dance protocol. This was used in the rehabilitation of pathologies covering the neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular systems, as well as in a healthy population. Positive results were the main outcome measure. Discussion Dance is an innovative intervention strategy for patients with comorbidities or underlying pathologies as well as for those in good health. It offers, without limitations, a field of applicability through the use of a dancing style as a rehabilitation process, generating significant changes in the physical, mental, and social skills of the individual.
