DANCE Rehabilitation EXperience (DANCEREX-DTx): Protocol for a randomized controlled trial on effectiveness of digital therapeutics in chronic neurological disabilities.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Rehabilitation is an important player in preventing and reducing the high impact of disability on everyday functioning in chronic neurological diseases (CNDs), especially if timely, intensive, and multidimensional. However, to date, rehabilitation is often a service accessible only to a few people, and the issue of a progressive decrease in treatment adherence still remains to be addressed. This study protocol describes an RCT whose aim is to test the effectiveness in terms of adherence of DANCE Rehabilitation EXperience (DANCEREX-DTx), a new digital therapeutic solution which combines a holistic, multidimensional program based on dance and music with an innovative motivational system.

Methods

The randomized, single-blind, controlled trial will involve 192 patients
