Objective:

To validate the feasibility of offering a live-stream group dance intervention to hospitalized patients in the subacute phase of rehabilitation as part of a pilot investigation.

Key Findings:
  • The remote dance-therapy program was safe and has been shown to have similar effects to conventional treatment in improving trunk control and balance function.
  • Telerehabilitation is feasible, usable, and acceptable for stroke patients, ensuring continuity of care and improving access to rehabilitation therapies.
Interpretation:

Limitations:
  • The study's small sample size may limit the generalizability of the findings.
  • The intervention's effectiveness compared to traditional rehabilitation methods requires further investigation.
Conclusion:

The pilot investigation suggests potential for live-stream dance interventions in enhancing rehabilitation for stroke patients, as indicated by the findings.
