试验速览

•Parkinson?s disease:
•1. Eligible people will have a confirmed diagnosis of Parkinson?s disease, Hoehn & Yahr scale of 2 or 3, which means mild to moderate mobility and stability
•2. Live at home
•3. Understand and follow commands; pass screen for cognitive impairment
•4. Agree they can tolerate the dance activity (1 hour session, twice a week for 10 weeks with practice)
•Healthy partners: Healthy people identified by eligible participants with PD will be considered for the trial. Some PwPD will be single and others will have a spouse unwilling to participate therefore relatives, volunteers or responders to an advert will also be considered. The feasibility of recruiting healthy dance partners will be examined in the study. Our criteria are:
•1. Similar age
•2. Able to understand and follow commands
•3. Willing to participate and able to tolerate the dance activity (1 hour session, twice a week for 10 weeks with practice)
•4. Target Gender: Male & Female; Upper Age Limit 99 years ; Lower Age Limit 18 years

•Parkinson?s disease: Those individuals who lack sufficient stability to dance with another person (clinical judgement)
•Healthy partners: Evidence of a neurological condition, vestibular impairment or multiple falls would lead to exclusion but experience of a single fall would be acceptable. Individuals who are at risk of instability when dancing will be excluded.
