简要总结
This study aims to investigate the effect of the targeted ballet dance on participants with cerebral palsy
详细描述
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common motor disorder in childhood, with a prevalence of 3.1 to 3.6 cases per 1000 living births in the United States. The motor signs of CP include abnormal muscle tone and motor control, preventing individuals with CP from participating in normal daily activity. The most common type of CP is spastic CP, in which spasticity is present and range of motion in the joints is reduced. Physical therapy is one fundamental method of rehabilitation that attempts to recover motor function via exercises, while the effects of physical therapy are still elusive due to the lack of comprehensive evidence. This study uses a targeted ballet class to promote balance, increased range of motion, and reduced spasticity. The combination of qualitative clinical measures and quantitative assessment spasticity aims to demonstrate the benefits brought by the dance class.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Montreal Stretch Reflex Threshold
时间窗: Tested during assessment sessions and on the first and last week of dance to evaluate change from the baseline at a 10-week period.
Montreal Stretch Reflex threshold is an objective method using surface electromyography and electrogoniometer to quantify spasticity by measuring the onset of the tonic stretch reflex.
