Exploring the benefits of a psychomotor intervention mediated by creative dance in community-dwelling older adults: development of new coordination and rhythm tests.
Trial report in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04311931 (The Effect of a Creative Dance Program on Well-being, Physical Function, Body Awareness, and Rhythm Perception and Reproduction of Community-dwelling Older Adults), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract
backgroundPsychomotor intervention mediated by creative dance is emerging as an enjoyable practice that stimulates balance, coordination, and rhythm, benefiting physical function, cognition, and overall health in older adults. Despite the relevance of this practice, validated tests for assessing motor coordination and rhythm in older adults-essential parameters for motor control and movement regulation-are still needed. Thus, this study assessed the effects of a psychomotor intervention using creative dance in global motor coordination, rhythm, and balance in community dwellings. For this intent, one test to assess older adults' global motor coordination and one test to assess rhythm were developed and tested.
methodsThis 12-week non-randomized clinical trial study included 38 participants (73.4 ± 5.7 years), allocated into two groups. The experimental group (EG; n = 19) attended the psychomotor intervention (3x/week; 50 min/session), while the control group (CG; n = 19) maintained their daily activities. Previous, global motor coordination and rhythm tests were developed based on the underlying literature and expert consultation. Their reliability and validity were determined. Fullerton Advances Balance Secale assessed Balance.
resultsThe test's intra and inter-rater reliability was excellent, ranging 0.962-1.00. There were positive correlations between the test variables and theoretically-related parameters, p < 0.05. Within-group comparison revealed significant improvements after the intervention in the EG global motor coordination, rhythm, and balance, p < 0.05. Significant differences between groups concerning change (pre-post-intervention) in the previous variables were found, p < 0.05, with an effect size ranging 0.40-0.74.
conclusionsThe current study supports the reliability and validity of the developed global motor coordination and rhythm tests in community dwellings. Nonetheless, further research is recommended to substantiate these findings in men. The psychomotor intervention mediated by creative dance induced large beneficial effects in global motor coordination, rhythm, and balance. These findings suggest that this practice is beneficial for promoting community-dwelling older adults' healthy aging.
