“…The aim of this following dance-therapy intervention (Takahashi et al, 2020) is to evaluate the effectiveness of dance in improving the well-being of children with Williams syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that causes intellectual impairment, cardio-vascular abnormalities and physical-motor difficulties. Due to the very low incidence rate, only 4 children were involved ageing 5 to 10 years.…”

Background: This research is aimed at analysing the effectiveness of play activities and dance-therapy programmes in improving the psycho-physical condition and increasing the well-being of individuals with disabilities. Methods: Online search engines (e.g., EBSCOhost, PubMed, the American Journal of Dance) were consulted using parameters such as "physical disabilities" or "dance with music" or "childhood" and excluding protocols published before 2010. Eleven intervention protocols were analysed. These concerned play and dance-therapy courses targeted at disabled subjects under 14 years of age. Results: It was found that at the end of the play sessions, higher muscular activation and improvement of quality of communication exchanges with the family members was found. With regard to the dance-therapy protocols, improvement was reported in general coordination, balance ability and a decrease in maladaptive behaviour in children with disabilities. Conclusions: With the improvement in physical performance, an increase in the subjects' state of well-being is also noted, underlining a strong body-mind connection. For future studies, it is recommended that the number of participants in individual studies should be larger and to include a control group to make the results generalisable on a large scale.

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.

“…ieser Beitrag präsentiert drei Studien zu unterschiedlichen Themen: Der erste Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit dem Potential der Bewegungsanalyse als Ergänzung im diagnostischen Prozess von Burnout (Pfeffer et al 2018). Die Pilotstudie von Takahashi et al (2020) widmet sich einem Interventionsbereich, der für die meisten TanztherapeutInnen unbekannt sein könnte: die Wirkung der Tanz therapie auf Stabilität, Muskelkraft und dynamisches Gleichgewicht bei Kindern mit Williams-Syndrom, einer seltenen Entwicklungsstörung. Der letzte Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Wirksamkeit der Tanztherapie bei Parkinson-Erkrankung auf Balance, Kognition und Wahrnehmung (Fisher et al 2020).…”
