Examples of Literature Review in Dance Therapy for individuals with Parkinson Disease – Pubrica

In brief:

·         Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder. Dance therapy for PD improves the health-related quality of life (HRQOL).

·         Literature review studies on dance therapy have proved to be the successful remedy most of the PD's.

                     Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic heterogeneous neurological disability or the neurodegenerative disorder is known as "shaking palsy" (DeMaagd & Philip, 2015), affecting 1-3% of the global population above the age of 60 years (Ball, Teo, Chandra, & Chapman, 2019). This disorder is characterised by degeneration of neurons due to which slowing of movements occur. Sometimes PD is also associated mainly with symptoms of tremors, uncontrolled muscle and involuntary limb movement during sleep and so on (Zafar & Yaddanapudi., 2019). The dance therapy was considered as a Psychotherapeutic used movement which improves the well being of the patients (the American Dance Therapy Association) and as the spiritual integration which brings peace of mind in patients (the European Association Dance Movement Therapy) (Koch et al., 2019).

Researchers found dance would be similar to do an exercise, thereby it received attention. In the recent study, it was explained that patient's with Parkinson's disease when suggested to practise dance therapy daily, there was an improvement in body movements and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) (Hackney & Bennett, 2014).

Moreover, in the subsequent trials, authors Kiepe et al., 2012; Peters, 2012; Boehm et al., 2014; Meekums et al., 2015 has studied PD patients with depression and anxiety and have seen the better outcome of DMT on patient's psychological distress.

Similarly, in another qualitative a study was done by Ashburn et al., in 2015, analysed the benefits of dance in PD. It was a 10 weeks study on a dance class practising Latin American dances and ballroom dance and PD individuals took part in the study for two times in a week.

Earhart, 2009 in his review study he analysed that dance movements involve particular beats like Tango, that stimulate brain cells to produce sufficient serotonin to bring a better feel in PD patient. These music or dance beats usually bypass the damaged area in the brain, these beats bring out auditory movements which further improves stamina to walk in PD patients. In another quantitative analysis done by McRae et al. 2018, he assessed the long-term impact of dance for PD (DfPD), to know their confidence in performing usual daily activities which improves the quality of life.

Conclusion:

Parkinson's disease requires a crucial dance therapy which is evidenced through various literature reviews as it responds well. Understanding and encouraging PD's, would make them confident to do any kind of work and activities they plan to do.

Future Scope:

Till date, various dance therapies have been applied to any type of PD symptoms, but, in this present scenario, researchers/doctors must focus on the specific dance to cure a particular type of PD symptom to invest time in inaccurate therapy.
