About this study

Official title: Effect of Classic Ballet Practice on School Children's Postural Balance: Randomized Clinical Trial

Is a parallel longitudinal protocol where half patients receive a experimental protocol and the other half receive orientation to maintain your daily live routine as usually. The experimental protocol include Ballet sessions. The hypothesis is interventional group will improve the balance control more than control group.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • BalletOther

    The classic ballet classes will respect biological limits of children. The sessions will be 75 minutes long, twice a week during 8 weeks. The class sequence will be: warm-up, follow by exercises about upper and lower limbs ballet positions and sequences of ballet jumps, and at the end a cool-down.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from baseline in total score of Star Excursion Balance Test at 8 weeks.

    Changing between the beginning and end of intervention. This measure is shown in cm.

    Measured: Before, immediate after intervention protocol

  2. Change from baseline in anteriorposterior and mediolateral displacements of Pressure Center at 8 weeks.

    Changing between the beginning and end of intervention of anteroposterior and mediolateral displacements of pressure center in cm.

    Measured: Before, immediate after intervention protocol

  3. Change from baseline in average speed of Pressure Center at 8 weeks.

    Changing between the beginning and end of average speed of pressure center in cm/s.

    Measured: Before, immediate after intervention protocol

  4. Change from baseline in 95% ellipse area of Pressure Center at 8 weeks.

    Changing between the beginning and end of 95% ellipse area of pressure center in cm².

    Measured: Before, immediate after intervention protocol

  5. Maintenance at 30 and 60 days from baseline in total score of Star Excursion Balance Test.

    Changing between the end and 30 and 60 days after intervention. This measure is shown in cm.

    Measured: Immediate after, 30 and 60 days after intervention protocol.

  6. Maintenance at 30 and 60 days from baseline in anteroposterior and mediolateral displacements of pressure center

    Changing between the end and 30 and 60 days after intervention of anteroposterior and mediolateral displacements of pressure center in cm.

    Measured: Immediate after, 30 and 60 days after intervention protocol.

  7. Maintenance at 30 and 60 days from baseline in average speed of pressure center

    Changing between the end and 30 and 60 days after intervention of average speed of pressure center in cm/s.

    Measured: Immediate after, 30 and 60 days after intervention protocol.

  8. Maintenance at 30 and 60 days from baseline in 95% ellipse area of pressure center

    Changing between the end and 30 and 60 days after intervention of 95% ellipse area of pressure center in cm².

    Measured: Immediate after, 30 and 60 days after intervention protocol.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Vertical stiffness

    Stiffness estimate by force plate data and displament of center of mass

    Measured: Before, immediate after, 30 and 60 days after intervention protocol

  2. Peak and absortion rate of ground reaction force

    Greatest value and absortion rate (between inicial contat and peak) of ground reaction force

    Measured: Before, immediate after, 30 and 60 days after intervention protocol

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline in total score of Star Excursion Balance Test at 8 weeks. (time frame: Before, immediate after intervention protocol). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
