Effects of an adapted dance exercise program on trunk control, balance and functional mobility in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy: randomized controlled study

An 8-week ADEP program, when combined with conventional physiotherapy, produced clinically meaningful gains in trunk control and QoL in children and adolescents with CP. These findings support the use of dance-based rehabilitation as a feasible and engaging adjunct to physiotherapy.
