{"value"=>"<p> <span class=\"title\">Identification of Dance/Movement Therapy as a Unique Modality in a Multi-Modal Rehabilitation Center</span></p> <p>This research was conducted to measure senior rehabilitation patient's attitudes towards the usefulness of dance/movement therapy as a treatment modality and if they could distinguish the differences and similarities between dance/movement therapy, physical therapy and occupational therapy. The eight (female) and three (male) subjects ranged in age from 66 to 89. The subjects involved in the study were admitted to the Rehabilitation Unit for either hip, wrist, arm, shoulder and/or cervical fractures, cerebral vascular accidents (CVA) or general deconditioning due to previous illness. The subjects were prequestioned upon admission as to their knowledge of dance/movement, physical, and occupational therapies. They were also asked questions pertaining to their physical, emotional and social well-being. The subject's length of hospitalization was four to five weeks. Most patients participated in three to four dance/movement therapy sessions on average. The data collected from the pre and post-treatment questionnaires were analyzed in two-tiers (Descriptive and Comparative). The findings were positive and proved the author's hypothesis. There were significant increases in the subject's understanding of dance/movement therapy. Subjects could also distinguish this therapy from physical and occupational therapy.</p>"}
