“…Seventy percent of the studies evaluated dance effects on children with cerebral palsy [5,9,17,[26][27][28][29]. The remaining 30% evaluated children with Charcot Marie Tooth [30], Willians syndrome [31], Down syndrome [32], and extremely preterm children with motor impairment [33].…”

“…Classifying outcome measures according to ICF domains, from the 12 included studies in this review, 7 studies adopted outcomes addressing body structures and function ICF components [5,9,17,26,27,30,31,33], 11 addressed activity component [5,9,[26][27][28][30][31][32][33][34], 3 addressed participation components [29,32,33], and 4 contextual components, with all of them addressing personal factors [9,27,31,33].…”

“…Only four studies used outcome measures encompassing dance effects on functioning of children with neuromotor impairments in a broad way, using additional outcomes to those of the structure, function, and activity domains, such as participation [33] and personal factor components [9,27,31,33]. The classification of the measured outcomes on the different ICF domains is show in Table 2.…”

Objectives: The aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of dance therapy in children with neuromotor impairments (CNI), organizing the outcomes according to International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF) domains, and to investigate if there is adequate evidence of effectiveness to recommend dance as a therapy. Methods: Electronic searches were conducted in December 2021. We include studies assessing the effects of dance in CNI up to 18 years. Data extraction included studies’ populations, intervention features, and main outcomes. We classified outcomes according to the ICF framework. We used the Cochrane collaboration’s tool, modified by effective practice and organization of care (EPOC), to assess the methodological quality. The GRADE synthesized the body of evidence. Results: Twelve studies were included, with most of them addressing the body structure and function and activity components of ICF. Only three studies addressed components of participation, and four of personal factors. All these studies reported the positive effects of dance. Nevertheless, all of them presented high risk of bias. We found very low evidence level for improvement of body structure and function and activity components. Conclusion: Dance therapy presents low evidence level for improvements of body structure and function and activity in CNI. Further studies with low risk of bias and larger samples are needed.
