Benefits of a Dance Intervention on Balance in Adolescents with Cerebral Palsy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
AIMS: Cerebral palsy (CP) impacts motor functions such as balance, limits of stability and walking, and may also affect other functions such as attention and rhythm production. Motor and non-motor deficits lead to difficulties in daily life activities. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a dance intervention on balance in adolescents with CP. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the effects of this intervention on walking speed, attention, and rhythm production. METHODS: A pre-post design study with a double baseline was conducted on ten adolescents with CP in order to assess the effects of a 10-week dance intervention. The dance intervention focused on improving balance and limits of stability. Outcomes on static and dynamic balance were evaluated with clinical and laboratory tests before and after the intervention. Walking speed, attention, and rhythm production were also evaluated before and after the intervention. RESULTS: Balance improved after the dance intervention as assessed with both the clinical tests and a laboratory test. Rhythm production also improved after the dance intervention. CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that a 10-week dance intervention is an effective activity to improve static and dynamic balance as well as rhythmic production in adolescents with CP.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
