Moving together: Benefits of a 12-week online dance training intervention on static and dynamic postural stability and gait speed in older adults. A pre-post study (Updated February 9, 2024).

A pre-post study examined the effects of a 12-week online dance training intervention on static and dynamic postural stability and gait speed in older adults. The study found that online dance training had limited effect on static postural stability but was beneficial for gait speed and dynamic postural control. While the increase in gait speed may have limited clinical relevance, the improvement in dynamic postural control was clinically significant. The study suggests that online dance training may be a useful intervention for improving balance and lower extremity function in older adults. [Extracted from the article]
