Brief Summary: Context Dance is an intrinsically motivating activity comprising social interaction, stimulation through music, the joy of moving despite motor limitations induced by pathology, and which has good perceived benefits among participants. Moving with pleasure is essential to finding the motivation to engage in rehabilitation program and physical activity. In stroke context, physical activity and rehabilitation were difficult to carry out because of cognitive and motor disabilities. Moreover, when the rehabilitation is over, the diminishing motor stimulation gradually limits autonomy in daily tasks. It is therefore urgent to provide persons in a post-stroke situation with motivating physical activity opportunities. Very few studies have studied dance in a context of stroke, while this physical activity is highly adapted and effective for other chronic conditions.

Objectives: The main objective is to assess the effects of dance practice on cognitive and motor functions for persons after stroke. The secondary objective is to investigate the effects of dance on quality of life, motivation and adherence. The investigator's hypothesis is that the practice of dance induces an increase of balance and motor capacities, and improving the quality of life, adherence and motivation after a stroke.

Materials and method :

Forty-eight subjects with stroke in subacute phase will be randomized into two groups: 1) intervention (dance and standard rehabilitation) and 2) control (standard rehabilitation). Before intervention, stroke severity, cognitive abilities and motor capacities will be tested. Two baseline tests will occur to assess the stability of individuals will be planned. Participants will attend a dance class weekly during 6 weeks. The cognitive and motor functions (balance, lower-limbs strength, coordination and motor level), the quality of life (Stroke-specific quality of life scale) will be measured at 4 and 6 weeks in both groups. Participant satisfaction with regard to dance will be tested, as well as adherence and adverse effects.

Perspectives:

The joy of dancing and the possibility of including other non-disabled people should facilitate adherence and motivation and increase the recovery of cognitive and motor functions.This project should motivate physiotherapists and dance teachers to increase the offer of dance classes for persons with motor and cognitive impairments.This action will be a basis for combating people's sedentary lifestyle after a stroke.
