Rhythm Effect on Dance Learning in Typical Development Children and Children With Motor Disorders.
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
Cerebral Palsy (CP) or Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) leads to motor troubles impacting the everyday life, social participation and academic difficulty . According to some authors, CP and DCD pertain to a same continuum of motor disorders (MD) (Pearsall-Jones et al., 2010).Those children show an alteration in Perceptivo-Motor Procedural Learning (PMPL), corresponding to the acquisition of everyday life skill (for CP: Gagliardi et al., 2011; Gofer-Levi et al., 2013; for DCD: Gheysen et al., 2011; Blais et al., 2018). Also, recommended rehabilitation for this population are based on procedural learnings (for CP: Novak et al., 2013; for DCD: Blank et al., 2019; Inserm, 2019). It's true for dancing which present high evidence to enhance motor, cognitive, psychoaffective and social functions of this children (Cherriere, Martel, et al., 2020; Cherriere, Robert, et al., 2020). Dance is a physical activity that involve procedural learning to memorise movement sequences (choreography). Rhythm can be define as a stimuli repetition at a regular interval (Grahn \& Brett, 2007; Patel, 2003). Recently studies tend to shown that rhythm is essential to enhance motor control and procedural learning (Ghai et al., 2022; Lagarrigue et al., 2021). To validate this hypothesis, the investigators will evaluate typical development children and children with CP MD learning of a dance choreography with and without rhythm.
