Brief summary
Is a parallel longitudinal protocol where half patients receive a experimental protocol and the other half receive orientation to maintain your daily live routine as usually. The experimental protocol include Ballet sessions. The hypothesis is interventional group will improve the balance control more than control group.
Interventions
OTHERBallet
The classic ballet classes will respect biological limits of children. The sessions will be 75 minutes long, twice a week during 8 weeks. The class sequence will be: warm-up, follow by exercises about upper and lower limbs ballet positions and sequences of ballet jumps, and at the end a cool-down.

| Maintenance at 30 and 60 days from baseline in total score of Star Excursion Balance Test. | Immediate after, 30 and 60 days after intervention protocol. | Changing between the end and 30 and 60 days after intervention. This measure is shown in cm. |
| Maintenance at 30 and 60 days from baseline in anteroposterior and mediolateral displacements of pressure center | Immediate after, 30 and 60 days after intervention protocol. | Changing between the end and 30 and 60 days after intervention of anteroposterior and mediolateral displacements of pressure center in cm. |
| Maintenance at 30 and 60 days from baseline in average speed of pressure center | Immediate after, 30 and 60 days after intervention protocol. | Changing between the end and 30 and 60 days after intervention of average speed of pressure center in cm/s. |
| Change from baseline in total score of Star Excursion Balance Test at 8 weeks. | Before, immediate after intervention protocol | Changing between the beginning and end of intervention. This measure is shown in cm. |
| Change from baseline in anteriorposterior and mediolateral displacements of Pressure Center at 8 weeks. | Before, immediate after intervention protocol | Changing between the beginning and end of intervention of anteroposterior and mediolateral displacements of pressure center in cm. |
| Change from baseline in average speed of Pressure Center at 8 weeks. | Before, immediate after intervention protocol | Changing between the beginning and end of average speed of pressure center in cm/s. |
| Change from baseline in 95% ellipse area of Pressure Center at 8 weeks. | Before, immediate after intervention protocol | Changing between the beginning and end of 95% ellipse area of pressure center in cm². |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Vertical stiffness | Before, immediate after, 30 and 60 days after intervention protocol | Stiffness estimate by force plate data and displament of center of mass |
| Peak and absortion rate of ground reaction force | Before, immediate after, 30 and 60 days after intervention protocol | Greatest value and absortion rate (between inicial contat and peak) of ground reaction force |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Physical activity level | Before intervention | Assessed by final score of Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children. The score questions are about daily physical activity of children. Final score is a mean calculate by 9 items/questions with range 1 to 5. A final score of 1 (minimum) indicates low physical activity, whereas a score of 5 (maximum) indicates high physical activity. |
