Effects of Bolero basic steps on balance and functional mobility in post-stroke hemiparesis: A pilot study.

Background: Problems with balance are common after a stroke, and dancing can be a beneficial adjunctive approach to rehabilitation. Dancing can be seen as a strategy to increase motivation, as it may be able to improve motor patterns of stroke patients. In this sense, Bolero is a Cuban rhythm that includes slight movements and provides stimuli to engage one physically and make one learn new motor patterns.
