Tango dancing has been effective in improving measures of physical function in people with Parkinson disease (PD). However, all previous studies were institution-based, tested participants on medication, and employed short-term interventions. Objective. To determine the effects of a 12-month community-based tango program for individuals with PD on disease severity and physical function. Methods. Sixty-two participants were randomly assigned to a twice weekly, community-based Argentine Tango program or a Control group (no intervention). Participants were assessed off anti-Parkinson medication at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months. The primary outcome measure was the Movement Disorders Society\u2013Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale 3 (MDS-UPDRS-3). Secondary outcome measures were the MDS-UPDRS-1, MDS-UPDRS-2, MiniBESTest balance test; Freezing of Gait Questionnaire (FOG_Q); 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT); gait velocity for comfortable forward, fast as possible forward, dual task, and backward walking; and Nine-Hole Peg Test (9HPT). Results. Groups were not different at baseline. Overall, the Tango group improved whereas the Control group showed little change on most measures. For the MDS-UPDRS-3, there was no significant change in the Control group from baseline to 12 months, whereas the Tango group had a reduction of 28.7% (12.8 points). There were significant group by time interactions for MDS-UPDRS-3, MiniBESTest, FOG_Q, 6MWT, forward and dual task walking velocities, and 9HPT in favor of the dance group. Conclusions. Improvements in the Tango group were apparent off medication, suggesting that long-term participation in tango may modify progression of disability in PD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1545968311421614","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,9,30]],"date-time":"2011-09-30T07:34:27Z","timestamp":1317368067000},"page":"132-143","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":308,"title":["Randomized Controlled Trial of Community-Based Dancing to Modify Disease Progression in Parkinson Disease"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Ryan P.","family":"Duncan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Washington University in St Louis, St Louis, MO, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gammon M.","family":"Earhart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Washington University in St Louis, St Louis, MO, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.21922"},{"key":"bibr2-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ctim.2008.10.005"},{"key":"bibr3-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.parkreldis.2009.03.003"},{"key":"bibr4-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/122.8.1597"},{"key":"bibr5-1545968311421614","volume-title":"The Surgeon General\u2019s Call to Action to Improve the Health and Wellness of Persons with Disabilities","author":"US Department of Health and Human Services","year":"2005"},{"key":"bibr6-1545968311421614","first-page":"231","volume":"45","author":"Earhart GM","year":"2009","journal-title":"Eur J Phys Rehabil Med"},{"key":"bibr7-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.jsm.0000244612.55550.7d"},{"key":"bibr8-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.22295"},{"key":"bibr9-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/11310860-000000000-00000"},{"key":"bibr10-1545968311421614","first-page":"215","volume":"45","author":"Hirsch MA","year":"2009","journal-title":"Eur J Phys Rehabil Med"},{"key":"bibr11-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1096-8628(19991015)88:5<539::AID-AJMG19>3.0.CO;2-S"},{"key":"bibr12-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ana.410320721"},{"key":"bibr13-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.55.3.181"},{"key":"bibr14-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10465-010-9086-y"},{"key":"bibr15-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0895-4356(93)90053-4"},{"key":"bibr16-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.22340"},{"key":"bibr17-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2340\/16501977-0537"},{"key":"bibr18-1545968311421614","volume-title":"J Neurol Phys Ther","author":"Leddy AL"},{"key":"bibr19-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1353-8020(99)00062-0"},{"key":"bibr20-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.21745"},{"key":"bibr21-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2522\/ptj.20070214"},{"key":"bibr22-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5014\/ajot.57.5.570"},{"key":"bibr23-1545968311421614","volume-title":"J Neurol Phys Ther","author":"Earhart GM"},{"key":"bibr24-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/NPT.0b013e31815ce78b"},{"key":"bibr25-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1545968309353329"},{"key":"bibr26-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2340\/16501977-0362"},{"key":"bibr27-1545968311421614","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.20914"},{"key":"bibr28-1545968311421614","unstructured":"Hintze J. 2009 NCSS.
