A Pilot Study of a Therapeutic Dance Intervention for Children With Cerebral Palsy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Therapeutic Dance for Cerebral Palsy. Completed, enrolled 9 participants.
Detailed Summary
Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have motor impairments that may limit participation in standard physical activity (PA) programs. Adapted PA interventions may help address this gap. Dance-based interventions may support coordination, posture, muscle strength, motor learning, and executive function. This pilot study evaluates the feasibility and preliminary effects of a therapeutic ballet intervention designed for children with CP on physiological and executive function outcomes.
