Cerebral Palsy, Dance, Quality of LifeAbstract
Introduction. Cerebral Palsy CP is characterized by a non- progressive disorder of the movement tonus and posture. The quality of life is based on the perception of an individual, as an internal experience of satisfaction and well-being. Recreational Therapy as dancing therapy has proportionate benefits in physical, emotional and social aspects, improving the quality of life of children with CP. Objective. The present study aimed to investigate whether there was an improvement in quality of life of children with CP who practiced dance class. Method. A Cross-sectional study was carried out in São Paulo and it evolved 20 children and adolescents CP aged 05-19, who attended two different institutions in an institution conducting dance classes and physical therapy and other therapy only. To assess the variable it was used the “Child Health Questionnaire” (CHQ–PF50). Results. The results showed statistic significant differences in the behavior, self-esteem and mental health domains for those children who practiced dance class. Conclusion. Based on these results we can conclude that children and adolescents with cerebral palsy who practiced dance class had a better quality of life than those who didn’t practiced it, for those who undergo physical therapy
