About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of a therapeutic dance program developed in a school environment on different parameters of structure and function, activity and participation according to the ICF framework in children with functional diversity.
Researchers will compare the effects of eight months of therapeutic dance classes (consisting of two one-hour sessions per week) on ICF parameters to the effects of no intervention.

Baseline (pre-intervention) and immediately post-intervention.Secondary outcomes
1
Quality of life with the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PEDS QL)
A tool used to measure the health-related quality of life in children and adolescents, both with and without health conditions.
Time frame
Baseline (pre-intervention) and immediately post-intervention.2
Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88).
Is an assessment tool designed and evaluated to measure changes in gross motor function over time or with intervention in children with cerebral palsy.
Time frame
Baseline (pre-intervention) and immediately post-intervention.3
Pediatric Balance Scale
The scale consists of 14 balance-related test items that are scored from 0 points (lowest function) to 4 points (highest function) with a maximum score of 56.
Time frame
Baseline (pre-intervention) and immediately post-intervention.4
Timed up and go test (TUG)
This test involves a series of actions that assess an individual's mobility and balance. It requires the individual to rise from a seated position in a standard chair, walk a distance of three meters, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down again. The time it takes to complete this sequence is recorded.
Time frame
Baseline (pre-intervention) and immediately post-intervention.Sponsors and contacts
