Abstract | Introduction: Individuals with Parkinson disease (PD) often demonstrate postural instability, gait difficulties, and reduced functional mobility that can lead to decreased quality of life (QOL). Although dance is an effective management option in alleviating the symptoms of PD, there is a limited number of studies that have objectively assessed effects of dance, particularly related to the Dance for Parkinson’s Disease® (DfPD®) programme. This study explores the impact of dance on disease severity, functional mobility, and QOL in people with PD. |
