SUMMARY

Cerebral Palsy (CP) leads to motor impairments and impacts activities of daily living and academic and social achievement (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Children with CP present impaired procedural learning abilities that is the ability to acquire cognitive-motor skills with practice (Gagliardi et al., 2011; Gofer-Levi et al., 2013). However, some rehabilitative rhythmic interventions, such as adaptive dance training, appear to improve motor, cognitive, psycho-emotional, and social functions in these children (Cherriere, Martel, et al., 2020; Cherriere, Robert, et al., 2020). Rhythm seems to be an important factor in these benefits, probably because regular rhythm improves motor control and learning (Thaut, 2015; Lagarrigue et al., 2021; Ghai et al., 2022). To validate this hypothesis, the investigators propose to evaluate the effects the presence of a regular rhythm on learning of a danse choreography in typically developing children and children with CP.
