What we know

Researchers from Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology have found that balance responses in people with Parkinson's disease are altered after a three-week adapted tango dance rehabilitation program. The study, published in the October 2016 issue of the Journal of Neurologic Physical Therapy, also shows that the three–week program may be as effective as longer programs with similar amounts of class time.
