Qualitative and Quantitative Clinical Assessment of a Structured Therapeutic Dance Class on People Diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease
Faculty Sponsor: Julie Strandberg
Cameron assisted in the data collection and analysis of a four-year clinical study of participant experience of a dance class for people diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, hosted by the English National Ballet. Under the guidance of Dr. Sara Houston of the University of Roehampton, Cameron used a mixed method approach, involving clinical assessment and qualitative tools, to assess whether dance intervention improves participant stability, posture, general wellbeing and disease progression.
