Abstract

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, which affects central nervous system (CNS). Dancing therapy has been suggested to give benefits to emotional, physical, spiritual and cognitive functions and the interpersonal integration. Dancing therapy can also improve the coordination of limbs of patients with PD, improve their gait and movement fluency, and improve the balance, cognitive ability and self-efficacy. In 2001, the Dance for Parkinson’s Disease? training classes were developed by Mark Morris Dance Group and New York Brooklyn Parkinson Group. They incorporated the music and dance into the rehabilitation treatment of PD. This paper expounds the role of dancing therapy in rehabilitation treatment of PD, and introduces its development status domestic and abroad.
