Dance-movement Therapy for People with Parkinson’s
New methods to measure brain activity in dancers can be applied to develop new forms of treatment, such as dance-movement therapy, for movement-related disorders including Parkinson’s disease, according to a Finnish PhD candidate. Scientists have studied how music impacts the brain for many years, finding it activates specific areas of the brain such as the cortex — an area that plays a key role in memory, attention, perception, cognition, awareness, thought, language, and consciousness. But how dance and dance-movement specifically impacts the brain has not been studied in depth.
