Today's Discussion
Parkinson's disease (P D ) is a neurodegenerative disorder. Dance therapy for PD improves the health-related quality of life (HRQOL).
Literature review studies on dance therapy has proved to be successful remedy most of the PD's.
In Brief
Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic heterogeneous neurolo g ical disabilit y or neurodegenerative disorder known as "shaking palsy", effecting 1-3% of global population above the age of 60 years.
This disorder is characterised by degeneration of neurons due to which slowing of movements occur.
The dance thera py was considered as a Psychotherapeutic used movement which improves the well being of the patients and as the spiritual integration which bring peace of mind in patients.
Prior to dance therapy, several other therapies were practiced by Parkinson's patients, which included speech, occupational and physical therapies.
These therapies were found useful to rectify walking posture, to lower the tremor rigidity and mental functions and to improve the vocal disorders.
Dance therapy improves the quality of patient's lives who were depressed and improves the motor ability performance.
Researchers found dance would be similar to do an exercise, thereby it received attention.
Patient's with Parkinson's disease when suggested to practise dance therapy daily, there was an improvement in body movements and health-related quality of life (HRQOL).
Dance Therapy
Benefits of Dance Movement Therapy (DMT)
Due to DMT there is substantial progress in balance with Berg Balance Scale, motor impairments, and quality of life were found in the intervention group better than control group.
PD patients with depression and anxiety have seen the better outcome of DMT on patient's psy cholo g ical distress.
The effect of DMT has secreted sufficient levels of plasma serotonin concentration and reduced the levels of dopamine in patients taking part in DMT and found more benefits than the control group.
Similarly, in q ualitative stud y done by Ashburn, analysed the benefits of dance in PD.
Parkinson's disease requires a crucial dance therapy which is evidenced through various literature reviews as it responds well.
Understanding and encouraging PD's, would make them confident to do any kind of work and activities they plan to do.
More than solid medications PD's would require emotional therapy to get well soon.
Conclusion
Till date various dance therapies have been applied to any type of PD symptoms, but, in this present scenario, researchers/doctors must focus on the specific dance to cure a particular type of PD symptom to invest time on accurate therapy.
Moreover, future research should not only limit to PD but also find out the effect of dance therapy on other neurological disorders.
