Résumé
Purpose : To examine the perceived impacts of an adapted-dance group intervention when added to intensive functional rehabilitation post-stroke. Method : In this exploratory qualitative case study, semi-structured interviews were analyzed using a deliberative inductive logic and referring to the International Classification of
Functioning, Disability and Health. Participants were patients in rehabilitation post-stroke (≤25 days) (n=6), relatives (n=4) and rehabilitation therapists (n=12). Selection was on a voluntary basis. The intervention added to the patients’ rehabilitation program consisted of 55-minute bi-weekly sessions for 10 weeks. Results : Three categories of perceived positive impacts emerged from the data: (1) mobility, (2) mental functions and personal factors (emotional functions, motivation and self-efficacy) and (3) interpersonal interactions and social life. A fourth category of perceived impacts involving exercise tolerance was both positive, in terms of general physical endurance, and negative, in terms of a feeling of increased fatigue. Conclusion : Such an adapted-dance intervention holds promise in subacute rehabilitation post-stroke. Its main strength lies in its perceived positive impact on mental functions, personal factors, and interpersonal and social interactions.
