ABSTRACT
Background:
Personalized dance-based movement therapies may improve cognitive and motor function in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a precursor to Alzheimer's disease. While age- and MCI-related deficits reduce individuals' abilities to perform dance-like rhythmic movement sequences (RMS)-spatial and temporal modifications to movement-it remains unclear how individuals' relationships to dance and music affect their ability to perform RMS.Objective:
Characterize associations between RMS performance and music or dance relationships, as well as the ability to perceive rhythm and meter (rhythmic proficiency) in adults with and without MCI.Methods:
We used wearable inertial sensors to evaluate the ability of 12 young adults (YA; ageâ=â23.9±4.2 years; 9F), 26 older adults without MCI (OA; ageâ=â68.1±8.5 years; 16F), and 18 adults with MCI (MCI; ageâ=â70.8±6.2 years; 10F) to accurately perform spatial, temporal, and spatiotemporal RMS. To quantify self-reported music and dance relationships and rhythmic proficiency, we developed Music (MRQ) and Dance Relationship Questionnaires (DRQ), and a rhythm assessment (RA), respectively. We correlated MRQ, DRQ, and RA scores against RMS performance for each group separately.Results:
The OA and YA groups exhibited better MRQ and RA scores than the MCI group (pâ<â0.006). Better MRQ and RA scores were associated with better temporal RMS performance for only the YA and OA groups (r2â=â0.18-0.41; pâ<â0.045). DRQ scores were not associated with RMS performance in any group.Conclusions:
Cognitive deficits in adults with MCI likely limit the extent to which music relationships or rhythmic proficiency improve the ability to perform temporal aspects of movements performed during dance-based therapies.
