Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have created specific instruction content tailored to the Japanese society after conducting research on how ballet companies in the oversea give ballet lessons to people with Parkinson's disease and analyzing Dance for PD training programs that are internationally acclaimed dance programs for people with Parkinson's.
We have already urged arts organizations, local governments and medical facilities to work together on implementations of the program we have created, with the help of Japan Parkinson's Disease Association (JPDA). We have successfully introduced Dance for PD in Japan.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ニューヨークで設立されたDance for PDは、世界の主要なバレエ団も参画する国際的な組織であり、世界保健機構(WHO)もその有用性を明言しているところであるが、日本にはまだ導入されていなかった。本研究により我が国でのプログラム実施が始動したことは大きな意義があると考える。また、本研究の成果は高齢者向けプログラムとして発展する可能性を含んでおり、高齢社会の進展に伴い、クオリティオブライフの向上に貢献することが期待される。
