简要总结
Objective: The aim of this study is to compare neuromuscular exercises and dance Therapy on physical performance and kinesiophobia results in geriatrics.
Methods: As a result of the power analysis (G-Power), 36 participants are planned to be included in this study Block randomization will be used to divide participants into 2 groups, each with at least 18 participants: Group 1 (NE Group) and Group 2 (DT Group) (Randomizer.org). NE (Neuromuscular Exercise) group will participate in a 12-week exercise program consisting of sensorimotor system training, postural stability and control, global and local joint stabilization, balance training, muscle strength, breathing, and functional movement patterns.DT (Dance Therapy) Group will participate in 12-week dance training by a dance instructor. In dance therapy practices, simple and selected basic movements are appropriate to the level of the participants. Data will be collected using the Berg Balance Scale,30-second-Sit-to-Stand Test, Manual Muscle Testing, goniometer measurement and Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia.
Practice Implications: This current study will contribute to the understanding of how neuromuscular exercises and dance therapy affect physical function and kinesiophobia in geriatrics.
详细描述
Human aging is a complex and individual process that occurs in biological, psychological, and social areas. The metabolic and physicochemical characteristics of cells gradually change with age, a process known as biological aging. This results in cellular self-regulation, regeneration, and structural alterations as well as the degeneration of healthy tissues and organs.
Physical performance impairments are linked to a wide range of negative health consequences, including osteoporosis, falls, and fractures, and are one of the most important health problems in geriatrics. Proprioceptive perception is significantly related to postural stability. Musculoskeletal system disorders (in physiological, neurological, kinesthetic, auditory, vestibular proprioception, and cognitive systems) cause balance problems, which may lead to an increase in the frequency of falls in the elderly.
Dance therapy is a physical and mental activity in which the body moves purposefully and rhythmically to music. Regardless of its type, dance brings physical, cognitive and spiritual goals. It includes physical goals such as effective and dynamic body mechanics, movement awareness and control, flexibility, strength, coordination, endurance and thus expanding the body's movement capacity.
Although the effects of dance therapy on strength, flexibility, stress, depression, quality of life, and sleep quality in geriatric patients have been investigated in the Turkish literature, no studies comparing dance therapy with any physical exercise program have been found. It is thought that this study will shed light on the literature in the mentioned field.
The aim of this study is to compare neuromuscular exercises and danceTherapy on physical performance and kinesiophobia results in geriatrics.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in balance
时间窗: Before exercise programs and immediately after 12 weeks.
Change in static balance will be evaluated using Berg Balance Scale. The scale consists of 14 questions scored between 0-4. Scores between 0-20 indicate imbalance, scores between 21-40 indicate normal balance, and scores between 41-56 indicate good balance.
Change in muscular fitness
时间窗: Before exercise programs and immediately after 12 weeks.
Change in muscular fitness will be evaluated using 30-second-Sit-to-Stand Test
Change in muscle strength
时间窗: Before exercise programs and immediately after 12 weeks.
Change in muscle strength will be evaluated using Manual Muscle Testing.
Change in range of motion
时间窗: Before exercise programs and immediately after 12 weeks.
Change in range of motion will be evaluated using Goniometer Measurement
Change in kinesiophobia
时间窗: Before exercise programs and immediately after 12 weeks.
Change in kinesiophobia will be evaluated using Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia. The Scale consists of 17 questions and the high score indicates that the kinesiophobia is high.
Change in balance and walking
时间窗: Before exercise programs and immediately after 12 weeks.
Change in balance and walking will be evaluated using the Tinetti Balance and Gait Assessment. The first 9 of the 16 questions are about balance, and the next 7 questions are about walking. A score of 18 and below indicates a high risk of falling, a score of 19-24 indicates a moderate risk of falling, and a score of 24 and above indicates a low risk of falling.
Change of fear of falling
时间窗: Before exercise programs and immediately after 12 weeks.
Change in balance and risk of falling will be evaluated using alls Efficacy Scale International (FES-I). The Scale consists of 17 questions and the high score indicates that the fear of falling is high.
