Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: individuals of both sexes; aged 50 years or more; with a clinical diagnosis of PD according to the criteria of the London Brain Bank; on stable doses of medication; who attending one or two times weekly a physiotherapy section and who have not participated in any dance classes for at least three months.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: people, who declare taking part in combined practice of any physical activity program and/or exercise; fail to complete all stages of intervention; are decompensated clinically; do not meet the cut-off points on the Mini Mental State Examination; and with physical disability affecting daily or social life activities, due to other condition than PD.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Dance is expected to have a greater effect on primary outcomes, such as motor exploration and balance, with an expected effect size of 0.477. Motor Exploration will be assessed by section 3 of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). The 14 items in the motor exploration section (numbering 18-31) are based on the original version of the Columbia scale. The items evaluate PD motor signals such as rigidity, tremors and bradykinesia, as well as the consequences on motor functions such as speech, gait, hand and foot movements and posture. For an accurate perception, it is necessary to know and master the instrument by the evaluator. The balance will be evaluated through the Berg Balance Scale, which evaluates the performance of functional balance in 14 items common to daily life. The tasks are evaluated through observation and the score of each item varies from 0 to 4, totaling a maximum of 56 points. The score is lower if time or distance is not reached, if the individual needs supervision to perform the task, or if it is supported by an external support or by the examiner himself. Evaluations will be carried out before the start of the intervention (and with the control group) and after the 12 weeks, with both groups performing the collections simultaneously. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is believed that samba classes may have a lesser effect on secondary outcomes, non-motor symptoms, such as depressive symptoms, fatigue, and sleep disorders. Depressive symptoms will be assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Contains 21 multiple choice objective questions, the sum of individual item gives a total score, in which the highest score is 63, which indicates a high degree of depressive symptoms and the lowest score is zero, which corresponds to the absence of symptoms depressive disorders. Fatigue will be assessed through the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), an instrument to evaluate the physical aspects of fatigue and its impact on the daily function of the patient in a variety of medical and neurological disorders. Assesses the impact of fatigue on motivation, exercise, physical functioning, accomplishing tasks and responsibilities, and interfering with work, family, or social life. It contains nine items in the form of brief and comprehensible statements in Likert scale in which the rating scores range from 1 to 7 for each statement; The FSS total score represents the average score of the nine items ranging from 1 to 7, in which the highest scores (maximum 63 points) indicate more severe fatigue. Sleep disturbances will be assessed using the Sleep Scale for Parkinson's Disease (PDSS). It is a specific scale for the evaluation of sleep disorders in patients with PD, a formal instrument to quantify sleep problems in PD. PDSS is a self-administered visual analogue scale addressing 15 symptoms associated with sleep disorders. Patients should complete PDSS based on their experiences over the previous week and the score for each item range is: always (0) to never (10), with the exception of item 1, where the scale ranges from terrible (0) To excellent (10). The maximum score for PDSS is 150 (patient is free of all symptoms) Evaluations will be carried out before the start of the intervention (and with the control group) and after the 12 | — |
