摘要

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder, characterised by the presence of both motor and non-motor symptoms. Manifestation of both motor and non-motor symptoms may impact the quality of life of persons with PD. Numerous pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment modalities have been proposed to enhance the quality of life, and dance is one of them. Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) is a form of psychotherapy that facilitates the person’s physical, psychological, cognitive and emotional growth and enhances the quality of life. An extensive data search was carried out in PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, Scopus, ProQuest, Science Direct, and Google Scholar and extracted and synthesised 13 studies. Most of the studies targeted both motor and non-motor symptoms of PD, and it was found that DMT effectively reduces the burden related to the symptoms and improves quality of life.
