简要总结
GroundWorks DanceTheater and Cleveland Clinic are partnering to create and offer an initial study of a dance movement-based community program for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The program will address major needs in the MS community including social-emotional well-being, body awareness, and motor function. GroundWorks artists will use a variety of widely accepted movement-based practices with the goal of improving upper and lower body function and overall well-being. By partnering, GroundWorks and Cleveland Clinic hope to encourage more study of the benefits of dance movement-based programming in individuals affected by MS.
详细描述
GroundWorks DanceTheater and Cleveland Clinic are partnering to design and implement a pilot study of a dance movement-based community program for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The program is aimed at addressing major needs in the MS community including social-emotional well-being, body awareness, and motor function. GroundWorks artists will use a variety of movement-based practices including personalized tasks and imagery, mirroring, and inscription, with the goal of improving upper and lower extremity function, and well-being. Cleveland Clinic will assist GroundWorks in the selection, monitoring, and testing of the participants. Cleveland Clinic will also take the lead with data management and analysis. By partnering, GroundWorks and Cleveland Clinic hope to create a promising program that will lead to further exploring the impact of dance movement-based programming in individuals affected by MS.

结局指标
主要结局
Timed Up and Go (TUG)
时间窗: 4 months
This is a test of functional mobility, commonly used for people with MS. The test measures the time it takes for a person to stand up from a chair, walk 10 feet, turn around, walk back to the chair and sit down.
9 Hole Peg Test (NHPT)
时间窗: 4 months
This is a widely used test of upper extremity function in people with MS. The test measures the time it takes for a person to pick up 9 pegs individually and place each one in one of 9 holes on a board and then take each one out, one at a time, and place the pegs back in the container.
