Summary

The human body needs a system to control and coordinate its action plan in order to perform an effective action. This system works irregularly or inappropriately in people with Cerebral Palsy (CP). An alternative to controlling these disorders is automatic movement modulation such as dance. Dance, whose main purpose is to achieve a satisfying motor performance, increases motor learning with sensory, perceptual and emotional components. Although the effects of dance therapy on functionality, balance and participation in people with CP have been previously examined in the literature, it has been reported that the evidence is insufficient and more studies are needed. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of adaptive dance exercise program on trunk control, balance and functional mobility in children and adolescents with Cerebral Palsy.
