Effects of Improvisational Dance Movement Therapy on Balance and Cognition in Parkinson’s Disease.

We are proud to announce the publication of the results of a research project in the Journal of Physical and Occupational Therapy in Geriatrics. Several of our teachers have collaborated on this project. The study examined the Effects of Improvisational Dance Movement Therapy on Balance and Cognition in Parkinson’s Disease. The study concludes that dance movement therapy with an emphasis on improvisational dance resulted in functional gains in balance and cognition for people with Parkinson’s disease and merits further exploration.
