“…The third study reported no differences in balance post-intervention between the Irish set dancing group and no intervention controls [64]. Four studies used the BBS to compare dance to no intervention; two showed no improvement in the dance groups practicing ballroom/ Latin American dance or Qi dance in comparison to usual care [33,43] while the other two showed improvement in Sardinian folk and tango and waltz/foxtrot dancers compared to no intervention controls [17,65].…”

“…Three did not report the medication state of participants during assessments [34,43,64]. In two trials, participants were tested "ON" medication, but it is not described if this occurs at a particular time of day or period of the medication cycle [16,65]. Volpe et al [66] reported that assessments did not always occur at the peak dose in medication cycles despite always taking place at a standardized time of day.…”

“…With regard to attrition bias, studies were classified as having a low risk of bias if the number of dropouts or withdrawals was less than 10% and a high risk if greater than 10% [5]. Four of the 16 studies reported no dropouts or withdrawals [15,34,62,66], and one had no dropouts but withdrew a participant from the analysis due to severe dyskinesia and freezing [65]. The remaining 11 all had dropouts greater than 10%.…”

“…In the six studies that compared dance to no intervention, four showed improvement in motor symptom severity after practicing tango, Qi dance, and Sardinian folk dance in comparison to controls [14,43,62,65]. The other two saw controls worsen in disease severity, and no changes in the tango or Irish set dance groups [17,64].…”

The efficacy of dance for improving motor impairments, non-motor symptoms, and quality of life in Parkinson’s disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Dance may help individuals living with Parkinson's disease (PD) improve motor and nonmotor symptoms that impact quality of life (QOL). The primary aim of this systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was to evaluate the efficacy of dance in improving motor and non-motor symptoms of PD and QOL. The secondary aims of this review were to evaluate the methodological quality of included studies by assessing risk of bias across nine categories and to inform the direction of future research. Peer-reviewed RCTs that included people living with PD at all disease stages and ages and measured the effects of a dance intervention longer than one day were included. Sixteen RCTs involving 636 participants with mild to moderate PD were eligible for inclusion in the qualitative synthesis and nine in the meta-analysis. Overall, the reviewed evidence demonstrated that dance can improve motor impairments, specifically balance and motor symptom severity in individuals with mild to moderate PD, and that more research is needed to determine its effects on non-motor symptoms and QOL. RCTs that use a mixed-methods approach and include larger sample sizes will be beneficial in fully characterizing effects and in determining which program elements are most important in bringing about positive, clinically meaningful changes in people with PD.

“…As expected, given the greater focus on dance rather other performing art forms in previous reviews, dance was the performing arts therapeutic medium for which there was the largest body of evidence with a total of 38 studies (see Appendix 1 for details of each study). Twenty-two of these dance studies included a control group: variously physiotherapy, [52] exercise, [53][54][55][56][57][58][59] education, [60-62] support groups, [63][64] usual care, [56,[65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78] and a waiting list control. [79] Of these, there were 14 separate randomised controlled trials.…”

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative condition associated with a wide range of motor and non-motor symptoms. There has been increasing interest in the potential benefit of performing arts as a therapeutic medium in PD. While there have been previous reviews, none have considered all performing arts modalities and most have focused on dance. This systematic review examined the potential benefit of all active group-based performing arts interventions for quality of life, functional communication, speech, motor function and cognitive status. Methods: Searches were conducted in February 2020 on five scholarly databases. Supplementary searches were conducted. Included studies were quantitative in design, and assessed the potential benefit of any active group-based performing arts intervention for quality of life, functional communication, speech, motor function or cognitive status in people with PD. Full text papers were eligible for inclusion, as were conference abstracts since January 2018. Screening, data extraction, narrative synthesis and quality assessment were conducted independently by two reviewers. Quality assessment used the SURE checklists. Results: 56 studies were eligible for inclusion in this systematic review, reported in 67 publications. Published from 1989 to 2020, these studies included a total of 1531 people with PD from 12 countries, and covered four broad performing arts modalities: dance, singing, music therapy and theatre. Dance remains the most commonly studied performing arts modality for PD (38 studies), while there were 12 studies on singing interventions, four on music therapy, and only two on theatrical interventions. There was evidence for a beneficial effect of all four performing arts modalities on at least some outcome domains. Conclusions: This is the first systematic review to assess the potential benefit of all active group-based performing arts interventions in PD. The evidence suggests that performing arts may be a useful therapeutic medium in PD. However, a substantial limitation of the evidence base is that no studies compared interventions from different performing arts modalities. Moreover, not all performing arts modalities were assessed for all outcome domains. Therefore it is not currently possible to determine which performing arts modalities are most beneficial for which specific outcomes.
