Table 6 Results of dance training
| Hackney et al[66,69] | Tango | 60 min session, 2 d/wk for 10 wk (total 20 sessions) | Decreased UPDRS score, improved balance, reduced fear of falling. Trends of improvement for FoG and at Timed Up and Go test |
| Hackney et al[67] | Tango vs Foxtrot | 60 min session, 2 d/wk for 13 wk (total 20 session) | Both types of dance improved gait speed, balance, backward stride length, cardiovascular function and symptoms (UPDRS); only Tango generated improvements for FoG |
| Duncan et al[70] | Tango in patients “off medication” | 60 min session, 2 d/wk for 12 mo | Bradykinesia and motor symptoms severity (assessed with MDS-UPDRS-III) were reduced; gait speed, balance, dual task walking speed and upper extremity function all improved; rigidity, FoG and gait endurance remained stable, but in the control group they progressively worsened, (“braking” effect on PD progression) |
