Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of dance intervention on the cognitive function and balance function in the elderly with mild cognitive impairment and its possible mechanism through systematic review of related literatures. Methods The literatures of randomized controlled trials on the impact of dance intervention on the cognitive function and balance function of the elderly with mild cognitive impairment were searched in the Cochrane library, PubMed, CBM, Web of Science, EMBASE, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang data and other databases, from establishment to June 7th, 2021. Two researchers screened the literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and evaluated the quality. Results The scores of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) were better in the dance intervention experimental group than in the control group, as well as the scores of Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS), Trail Making Test (TMT)-B and Verbal Fluency Test. However, no significant difference was found in the response time in TMT-A between two groups. Dance intervention could improve the scores of Berg Balance Scale. Conclusion Dance intervention can improve overall cognitive function, memory function, executive function and balance function of the elderly with mild cognitive impairment.
