Brief Summary:
Cognitive impairment CI is the leading cause of loss of autonomy and has a huge impact on physical performance and quality of life QOL in older people Pharmacological treatments currently available have modest efficacy at best Dance as both artistic and physical activity combining emotions social interaction and sensory stimulation therefore appears as a non-pharmacological intervention which could contribute to the prevention of functional decline
Among all the existing dances tango occupies a special place because of the cultural and emotional resonance it carries but also because of what it leads to motor mobilization variations in the rhythm of walking rotation of the belts weight transfers These characteristics seem to make the tango an excellent tool for the rehabilitation of balance and gait as well as for the prevention of the loss of autonomy in older adults with CI
The objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of an intervention based on tango and classical physical activity

Detailed Description:
CI is a major cause of loss of independence in older people Alterations in balance and gait are very often present these worsen the overall condition of the patient and are a sign of poor prognosis Consequently the quality of life of the patient and his family is severely affected The pharmacological treatments currently available aim to alleviate the symptoms Current data support the modest efficacy of these treatments at best Non-pharmacological interventions NPI are key tools for improving physical performance functional abilities cognitive psychological and social functioning The benefits of NPIs are observed daily in the field To be better known recognized and deployed more widely it is essential to evaluate their effects and their implementation in a scientific way by following the criteria of evidence-based medicine Dancing is widely appreciated by older people It is both an artistic and physical activity that combines emotions social interaction sensory stimulation thus creating enriched environmental conditions for the elderly Tango in particular has been used as a therapeutic instrument for a long time Its regular practice has benefits in many aspects of health and can have a positive impact on cognitive abilities as it requires sustained attention Studies on tango as a therapy in Parkinsons disease have shown its effectiveness in improving psychomotor and cognitive signs and especially in the quality of life Numerous studies have demonstrated the benefits that dance-based interventions can bring far outweighing the risk of falls they represent From a motor point of view tango is a moderate-intensity exercise in which static and dynamic postural control is stimulated This dance based on walking proves to be an excellent tool for rehabilitation prevention of falls as well as for the prevention of functional decline in older people with CI
Objectives The general goal of this project is to analyze the effects of tango on physical abilities gait and quality of life of older people with C
Secondary objectives
Evaluate the effectiveness of this type of program compared to traditional treatment
Refine the characteristics of effective management concerning the dose frequency and duration of intervention
Analyze the effects of tango on the spatiotemporal parameters of walking
General hypotheses Various studies have highlighted the positive effects of tango face of different conditions including Parkinsons disease Based on these findings the investigators hypothesize that tango interventions have a positive effect on physical abilities and quality of life in older adults with CI
