Brief Summary

Despite the benefits associated with individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) engaging in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) programs, the benefits diminish by 6 months. A new innovative approach is needed to increase motivation to exercise and to minimize diminution of effect. Dance is a fun and interactive activity, which has shown benefits in other populations, such as Parkinson's disease and stroke. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of dance in individuals with COPD following PR.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Enrollment rate

  Enrollment rate is calculated as a percentage (number of people enrolled/ number of people approached)

  8 weeks

• Attendance rate

  Attendance rate is calculated as a mean percentage for the group (number of sessions attended/ number of total sessions)

  8 weeks

• Participant satisfaction and perceived benefits (Participant satisfaction questionnaire) questionnaire

  Participant satisfaction and the perceived benefits were assessed by asking participants to complete a nine-item survey which asked participants to report their level of agreement with statements on enjoyment and perceived improvements or benefits according to a 5-point Likert type scale (1 = strongly agree, 5 = strongly disagree). The questionnaire contained open-ended questions asking participants what they liked best and least as well as what they would change about the intervention.

  8 weeks

• Occurrence of adverse events

  Adverse events were tracked and the program is considered safe and feasible if no adverse events occurred.

  8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (7)

• Change in functional capacity (6-minute walk test)

  Change from baseline to end of 8-week dance program

• Change in Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest) score

  Change from baseline to end of 8-week dance program

• Change in Berg Balance Scale score

  Change from baseline to end of 8-week dance program

• Change in balance confidence (activities specific balance scale)

  Change from baseline to end of 8-week dance program

• Change in anxiety and depression (hospital anxiety and depression scale)

  Change from baseline to end of 8-week dance program
