| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dance group | Other | Participants allocated to this group will continue with their usual care and participate in a set dancing class. |
|
| Control group | No Intervention | Participants allocated to this group will act as a control group and continue to receive their usual care only. |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dance group | Other | Participants will attend ten weeks of set dancing classes. Each class will be one and half hours. Family members will be invited to partner each participant with Parkinson's disease during the class. Set dancing steps and sets will be thought and progressed in line with the participants abilities. Frequent rests will be taken during the classes. Participants will be given a home exercise programme which will involve chair based exercises, mental rehearsal, listening music, watching a dance DVD and practicing dance material thought in class. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Feasibility of randomization procedures (To assess implementation of randomization procedures) | This outcome measure will be assessed over a 1 year period from study inception to completion | |
| Attrition (To assess dropout rate during the study) | Attrition rate of ≤ 20% per group will be deemed acceptable | This outcome measure will be assessed over a 1 year period from study inception to completion |
| Intervention adherence (To assess compliance with the dance intervention) | 2) Intervention will be considered successful if no adverse effects or safety issues are reported and attendance at classes is ≥70% | This outcome will be assessed during the 10 week set dancing intervention |
| Recruitment rates (To assess rate, duration and success of recruitment methods) | Recruitment considered successful and feasible is 100 participants are recruited in one year | This outcome will be assessed over a one year recruitment period |
| Resources (To assess availability of personnel and building needed to implement study methodology) | Document issues regarding availability of personnel or buildings needed to implement study methodology | This outcome measure will be assessed over a 1 year period from study inception to completion |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Exit Questionnaire (To assess participants satisfaction) | The exit questionnaire will assess participants' satisfaction with the dance intervention at the end of the study. The questionnaire asks participants if they have noted improvements in different aspects of physical well-being, and allows feedback relating to the structure, material and enjoyment of the dance classes to be gathered. This questionnaire has previously been used in other studies investigating the benefit of dance for those with Parkinson's disease (Hackney and Earhart 2009; Hackney and Earhart 2010). |
