Adapted dance used in subacute rehabilitation post-stroke: impacts perceived by patients, relatives and rehabilitation therapists.

CONCLUSION: Such an adapted-dance intervention holds promise in subacute rehabilitation post-stroke. Its main strength lies in its perceived positive impact on mental functions, personal factors, and interpersonal and social interactions. Implications for rehabilitation An adapted-dance group intervention could offer an innovative means of contributing to intensive functional rehabilitation post-stroke by potentially generating positive perceived impacts on emotional functions, motivation and self-efficacy, as well as on interpersonal and social interactions. Adapted dance could be added to inpatients' rehabilitation with only minor impacts on fatigue. PMID: 30907140 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
