ABSTRACT
This study investigated the effect of a six-week tango-based intervention on the balance
and quality of life on subjects with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Twenty-two men and women
were assigned into three groups TBI group (TBI: n=2; 44.5±2.1 years), Treatment control (TC:
n=8; 30.9±12.3 years), Control (CG: n=12; 32.8±9.6 years). The TC group showed an
improvement in stress levels compared to the CG p<0.05. While all groups improved in most of
the feet on foam with eyes closed condition over time, those that participated in tango
improved more (time p<0.05). Findings demonstrate that tango improves stress in subjects
with TBI, and may improve balance regardless of TBI.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would like to thank both of my professors who helped me more than I can say with this
project: Dr. Dumke and Dr. Bundle. Thank you to Ann Stevenson as well for her unfailing

Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a disruption in the normal function of the brain caused by
a blow to the head, violent shaking, or penetration of the brain tissue with varying degrees of
severity1,2. Effects of TBI can be long or short term and symptoms can include physical,
cognitive, behavioral, and emotional impairments2. Many studies have evaluated different
treatment techniques post TBI3. According to the American Academy of Neuroscience review in
2018, people with severe brain injury had lower mortality 3 years post discharge if they had a
multidisciplinary approach to their treatment4. A multidisciplinary approach is best to address
the complexity of symptoms that vary depending on the severity of injury2,4.
Studies suggest that participating in an exercise regimen after a TBI aids in patient
recovery5. Several exercise modalities have been explored for TBI recovery including various
aerobic activities6 and progressive strength training techniques7 that showed improvement in
motor functions. It has also been suggested that individual choice in the type and intensity of
exercise may be more logistically sustainable than regimented exercise protocols for recovery8,9
due to the motivation of the individual to complete the tasks on their own10.
In addition to physical movement, several studies provide evidence that musical
interventions have been successful in the treatment and recovery of patients with TBI11,12.
Music therapy is the planned and intentional use of music to address physical, cognitive, social,
psychological, and other needs of the individual11,12. It has been shown to reduce circulating
stress hormones which improves the efficacy of other therapies done at the same time1,13,14.
Combining the modalities of music and exercise could have an additive effect on gait and
balance control in those suffering from TBI. A study by Thornberg et al. used a controlled
rhythmic exercise with music and visual inputs such as colors and words to produce movement
Peterson 2019
2
and verbal recognition in patients after stroke15. In her study, she concluded that activities
promoting connection to the body provides a sense of wholeness and allows subjects to add
meaning to their lives through social interaction and engagement with the environment and
themselves15.
Dance is a modality that combines exercise with music. Tango is a partner dance
developed in Argentina in the mid-19th century involving long steps and complex patterns of
movement14. One of the few times tango has been examined as an intervention was in a case
study by Hackney et al. as a treatment for a patient with chronic stroke16. She found
measurable improvements on gait, mobility and balance as well as cognitive factors16.
Recently, there have been studies examining the benefits of dance interventions in people with
Parkinson’s disease3,17,18. In another, larger, study by Madeleine Hackney, it was concluded
that tango had more benefit than the Fit ‘n Fun exercise protocols for Parkinson’s disease in a
subject’s functional mobility10. This could be the result of the complexity of movement
patterns required for tango such as turning, varying speed, and varied direction of movement
stimulating areas of the brain controlling balance centers19.
Statement of Problem:
Traumatic brain injuries are common and complex. Because not everyone has
behavioral issue or severe impairments as a result of TBI the need for outpatient treatment is
generally not warranted1. Though medical intervention is not always prescribed, or the patient
has recovered to a point where they no longer need the clinical intervention, patients often
have symptoms of disorganized movements and postural problems that persist and cause a loss
Peterson 2019

of quality of life1. Research has been done using interventions such as rhythmic exercise and
dance to increase the quality of life for other brain disorders including degenerative balance
disorders associated with age13,20–23, Alzheimer’s disease24, stroke16,25 and Parkinson’s
disease3,10,17,18,26–28, while one study looked at aerobic dance and TBI29, none have looked at
how tango can benefit individuals with TBI.
Statement of Purpose:
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of Argentine tango on balance
control and quality of life in subjects with traumatic brain injury compared to both a non-
traumatic brain injury tango intervention and non-intervention control group.
Research Hypothesis:
There will be no difference between the control group and the Tango groups in Quality
of life scores pertaining to Stress as reflected in the Pre and Post DASS-21 Questionnaire.
There will be no difference between the control group and the Tango groups in Quality
of life scores pertaining to Anxiety as reflected in the Pre and Post DASS-21 Questionnaire.
There will be no difference between the control group and the Tango groups in Quality
of life scores pertaining to Depression as reflected in the Pre and Post DASS-21 Questionnaire.
There will be no difference between the control group and the Tango groups in center
of pressure anterior to posterior displacement as reflected in the Pre and Post force platform
assessments.
Peterson 2019

There will be no difference between the control group and the Tango groups in center
of pressure medial to lateral displacement as reflected in the Pre and Post force platform
assessments.
There will be no difference between the control group and the Tango groups in center
of pressure area as reflected in the Pre and Post force platform assessments.
There will be no difference between the control group and the Tango groups in center
of pressure path length as reflected in the Pre and Post force platform assessments.
Significance of the Study:
This is the only study exploring the effects of Argentine tango on balance and quality of
life on persons with traumatic brain injury.
Rationale of the Study:
Because Argentine tango is dynamic and improvisational, continuous corrections need
to be made without the benefit of anticipated patterns which will, in theory, enhance the
balance required for the activities of daily life.
Limitations:
Argentine tango combines the musicality11,12,30,31 and mindfulness32–37 components with
the physical to enhance effectiveness. It also has higher adherence rates3,20 which makes it a
candidate for a long term intervention for improving physical and mental qualities of life in
persons with traumatic brain injury.
Peterson 2019

Delimitations:
Studies have already explored various physical therapy modalities for balance or music
interventions individually or in conjunction with other mindfulness therapies for traumatic
brain injury to great effect. However, unless stipulated by the individual participating in the
intervention, they do not combine mindfulness techniques, interpersonal touch, social
interactions, physical movements, and rhythmic/ musical stimulation and reflex simultaneously.

Definition of Terms:
• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): “A disruption in the normal function of the brain that can be
caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury1.” This definition
has been expanded to include explosive blasts as a cause1.
• Postural Control: complex motor skill involving sensory and motor systems working
together to prevent falls38,39
o Center of Pressure: the location of vertical ground reaction vector on the force
platform40.
o Postural Sway: horizontal movement around the center of gravity41
• Balance: the condition of someone or something in which its weight is equally divided so
that it can stay in one position or be under control while moving42.
• Quality of life: how people see their lives compared to their ideal lives based on societal
norms43–45
o Stress: uncomfortable emotional experience accompanied by predictable
biochemical, physiological and behavioral changes46,47.
o Anxiety: an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts and
physical changes like increased blood pressure48.
o Depression: a common mental disorder with symptoms including: a lack of interest
and pleasure in daily activities, significant weight loss or gain, insomnia or excessive
sleeping, lack of energy, inability to concentrate, feelings of worthlessness or
excessive guilt and recurrent thoughts of death or suicide49.
Peterson 2019

o DASS 21: is a 21-item self-report instrument designed to measure the three related
negative emotional states of depression, anxiety and tension/stress50.
• Argentine Tango
o Walking: The lead moves forwards or backwards and the follower moves backwards
or forwards in parallel or crossed system
o Cross system: Occurs whenever the couple are stepping together on his and her
right feet and then on his and her left feet, regardless of direction. The opposite
of parallel system51.
o Parallel system: The natural condition when a couple dance in an embrace facing
each other, the lead stepping on his left, the follower on her right foot, and then the
lead stepping on his right, the follower on her left foot, regardless of direction51.
o Sidesteps: Moving as a unit to the side
o Ochos: (eights) Pivoting on one foot forward or backward with the feet together
during the pivot and extended during the step as in figure eights. Typically executed
with feet together (ankles touching) instead of one foot extended51,52.
o Giros (turn): While follower does molinete, leader turns on one foot placing the toe
of the foot in front and executing a sharp turn52.
o Molinete: Windmill; wheel: A figure in which the follower dances a grapevine
pattern around the leader, stepping in a side-back crossing step-side-forward
crossing pattern as the leader pivots at the center of the figure. This is a very
common figure in tango which challenges both roles to maintain good posture,
balance, and technique51.
Peterson 2019
8
o Rock step: A split weight check and replace, usually led as the leader steps forward
with the left foot interrupting his or her forward step. May also refer to a subtle
shifting of weight from foot to foot in place and in time with the music done by the
lead before beginning a dance to give the follow the rhythm intended to ensure that
the follow will begin on the correct foot51.
▪ Rock step turn: using the rock step to change direction by pivoting on the
forward foot
o Cruzada: Cross; occurs anytime a foot is crossed in front or in back of the other52.
o Calisita: “merry-go-round”53; occurs when the lead circles around a stationary
(pivioting) follow.
o Parada pasada:
▪ Parada (stop) happens when the leader places a foot against a follower's foot
and leads them to stop54.
▪ Pasada (stepover) often follows a parade. It occurs when the follower steps
over the leader's foot often to return to the center herself in front of the
leader54.
o Adorno: ornament, decoration55; a movement in tango that is not led
• Body:
o Axis: The center vertical line around which one's balance is maintained52
o Line of Dance: Moving in a counter clockwise circle with the group of dancers at a
social dance
Peterson 2019

• Lead: Traditionally a male role, a lead invites the follow to perform steps and step
sequences
• Follower: Traditionally a female role, a follower “follows” the lead but the role is not
passive. The follow can set the timing and the emotion of the dance based on how they
follow the leader’s invitations.
• Practica: Informal Tango dance practice
• Milonga: Formal Argentine tango dance party

Chapter 2: Review of Related Literature:
Exercise:
Following the initial physical therapy to return to normal function after traumatic
incident, depending on the extent of the injury, can be months to years of additional intensive
physical therapies1. Some of the greatest gains during this time can be made in the
psychological effects of chronic illness—depression and resultant decrease in cognitive
function1. Exercise has been found to be as effective as medications at soothing the
dysregulated sympathetic nervous system post TBI6,15,56–60. In addition to being dysregulated,
the treatment of depression and anxiety after traumatic brain injury is challenged by increased
sensitivity to medications and vulnerability to side effects61.
Exercise mitigates persistent problems with balance and stability. Progress was made
toward normalcy and safety for people who live with traumatic injury or other balance
disorders using yoga58, monitored circuit training7,9,62,63 and other highly individualized
interventions57,64.
Music:
Music is a multi-dimensional tool newly introduced to the world of psychotherapy. It
has the power to enhance and destroy motivation and bridge the gaps between brain cells65. In
2009, Altenmüller et al. observed after 15 sessions of music therapy there were not only
improvements in motor control and precision of movements over controls, but there was
better cortical connectivity in the EEG in the damaged parts of the brain than in the control
groups. Neurologic music therapy has huge implications for people with traumatic brain injury
for depression and for motor control66–68.
Peterson 2019
11
Emotional regulation is difficult for those with traumatic brain injury. Music therapy can
help modulate the peaks and valleys of nervous system dysregulation by stimulating the para-
limbic system causing feelings of happiness or satiety69–71. Thaut et al. looked at executive
function and emotional adjustment in persons with traumatic brain injury. They found that the
treatment group who used percussion instruments to follow patterns led by a therapist were
significantly improved in anxiety, depression and sensation seeking and more mentally
flexible70.
Adding music to movement therapies that are not dance has shown to have significant
improvements to patients’ quality of life and mobility due to a sense of being connected to the
whole body15. Two weeks after stroke, adding music to wheelchair-seated arm activities
showed greater satisfaction and greater range of motion in the shoulder and elbow in the
affected arm compared to the control group72. Pacchetti et al. found a similar phenomenon
when adding music to weekly physical therapy in Parkinson’s patients73. His patients saw a
decrease in bradykinesia, improvements in activities of daily living and overall happiness
factors73. In subjects who completed Dance For Parkinson’s (DFP) protocols, there were no
improvements to balance due to the seated nature of the exercise but showed positive
improvement in social application and quality of life scores3.
Dance:
In 2002, Dault et al. performed a study involving aerobic dancing compared to muscular
training on subjects with traumatic brain injury29. The dancing was individualized slide and step
dancing with gradual addition of arms while the muscular training was traditionally prescribed
Peterson 2019
12
musculoskeletal training using Nautilus equipment. The study concluded, based on force plate
analysis, that the dance group benefited more in balance and coordination than the weight
training (control) group29.
The older adults also show improvements in postural control with dance-based
programs. An eight-week ballroom dance study showed improvement in balance and
functional performance using subjective tests such as the Timed up and go, Tinetti test, etc.
and objective measures such as force plate data compared to controls23. Kattenstroth et al.
found after six months of a weekly dance class, there were significant changes to posture and
balance that were tested with both subjective tests and with force plates as well as cognition
and quality of life changes that were tested with the everyday competence questionnaire22.
Parkinson’s disease has some of the same hallmarks of instability and resulting deficits
in quality of life as persons with traumatic brain injury due to lack of mobility including postural
instability, gait difficulties, impaired functional mobility3,10,17,18,26–28, and depression17,18. Several
studies have explored dance and how it impacts motor function in people with Parkinson’s
disease with mixed results based on modality. Ballet did not show significant balance
improvement based on the measurements taken with the explanation being fatigue during the
measurements since they were taken directly after the class, but it did show a significant
improvement to motor control scores as well as those to quality of life18. Subjects who
participated in improvisational28 and modern dance27 showed improvement in balance scores
using the Fullerton scale. The case study showing improvement with improvisational dancing
was substantiated with changes in fMRI imaging showing the possibility the basal ganglia can
reroute to reestablish connections to improve movement patterns28. This finding is also being
Peterson 2019
13
explored by Hafting et al. in the older adult population as it pertains to dance with the
explanation neurons are part of a grid system and even if they are atrophied or missing, they
still hold the space—the location they connected to can be reached74 and dancing can help
reconnect these pathways13.
Social interactions:
The social interaction of activities is well known to help with depression and anxiety.
Tango goes a step further by combining music and partner using interpersonal touch to
alleviate the feelings of isolation and loneliness32,33,35. In a study by Quiroga Murcia et al., the
role of hormone was evaluated as were the roles of partner and music33. They found that
regular tango decreased cortisol levels which were additive with partner and with music and
testosterone fluctuations were mitigated after the second introduction which substantiated
previous, self-reported research on the subject of well-being33. It is important to note that this
decrease in cortisol is unique to Argentine tango perhaps due to its more casual
atmosphere75,76.
Tango:
Hackney et al. in several studies spanning 2007-2010 looked at how tango used as an
intervention could improve quality of life in subjects compared to other interventions such as
American Ballroom tango26, and group exercise classes10; as well as a longer term study
following a single individual for a duration of 20 weeks17. Overall, she and her colleagues found
that when compared to exercise only tango improved on the balance measures, and compared
Peterson 2019
14
to the other dance modalities the groups participating in tango showed the same if not more
improvement in balance according to the Berg Balance scale.
Used as treatment for chronic stroke, there were similar effects. In 2012, Hackney again
tested tango as an intervention in a case study showing marked improvement after 20 hours of
tango classes in balance and coordination as well as a commitment to continuing the course of
treatment16.
Tango has also been used in non-pathological older adults with balance and confidence
problems. Patricia McKinley and colleagues in 2005 did a feasibility study that found tango
targeted balance and complex task execution better than other modalities specifically
compared to a walking program21. She repeated the study in 2008. After the follow-up it was
determined both groups were significantly improved, but the attrition rate for the tango group
was much less than for the walking group there was only 1 compared to 4 in the walking group
which might have more significant ramifications for long-term treatment choices20.
Summary:
The literature shows there is strong evidence Argentine tango can be an effective
intervention for generalized traumatic brain injury because it is the integration of movement,
music, social interaction and mindfulness practice.

Chapter 3 Methodology:
Subjects:
Subjects were selected from volunteers in the Missoula, MT and surrounding communities
with an interest in learning to dance Argentine Tango. All subjects had no previous dance
experience or did not dance regularly within the last year and were between 18 and 50 years of
age with the average age of 32 years. Because Argentine Tango is a partner dance, we wanted
each group to have 5 males and 5 females to conform to traditional leader and follower roles,
we had 6 females and 5 males with the instructors substituting for the absent partner. There
were three groups: Tango with TBI, Tango without TBI, and the Control Group.
The TBI group were individuals who have an history of TBI with recovery lasting greater than
1 year and have ambulatory ability (n=2). The severity of TBI in the participants were
determined by self-reported acknowledgement of Glasgow Coma Scale scores between 9-12
which are considered moderate77.
The Non-TBI group were individuals with no known TBI (n=12). They participated in the
same tango intervention and measurements as the TBI group. Three of the participants elected
to remove themselves from the study leaving n=9.
The Control group were individuals without a known TBI who did not participate in the
tango intervention (n=12).
Research Design:
All participants from each group participated in pre and post testing of balance and
quality of life scores.
Peterson 2019
16
TBI and Treatment Control groups participated in a six-week introductory Argentine
tango class once per week provided by Tango Connections, of Missoula, MT. The instructors for
the course were Lori Mitchell and Michaela Stockhouse. The class covered basic movements
such as walking with a partner in parallel and cross systems and progressed to more complex
movements throughout the course. A detailed description of the classes is available in
Appendix 3. Subjects were discouraged to participate in non-tango dancing during the
experiment and were required to practice tango one time per week outside of class during
organized practicas supervised by members of the tango community and instructors3,18,19,22–
24,27–29,34,35. These were held for one and one-half hours per week on Monday, Thursday and
Friday evenings in various venues in Missoula and the Bitterroot Valley. These were monitored
by rollcall by the PI who attended all functions. Subjects were removed from the study if they
missed more than one class and one practica. Subject number one was removed from analysis
after completing the protocol due to a syncopal episode during the treatment period.
Outcomes:
Postural control evaluation:
Subjects reported to Ed 010 by appointment. Subjects were responsible for ensuring
they did not arrive to the laboratory inebriated or otherwise incapacitated. The laboratory
portion of the assessment took approximately 15-20 minutes per subject. During data
collection subjects performed a cognitive challenge (serial sevens). Data was collected on all
subjects within two days of completion of intervention to ensure effect is measured. The entire
assessment took about one hour per individual including the survey.
Peterson 2019
17
The assessments included pre and post intervention time points in a modified sensory
orientation test in 6 different conditions. Subjects were asked to stand on the force plate for 45
seconds with their:
(1) Feet together and eyes open,
(2) Feet together and eyes closed,
(3) Feet apart and eyes open, and
(4) Standing on foam with feet together and eyes open
(5) Standing on foam with feet together and eyes closed
(6) Standing on foam with feet apart and eyes open
Quality of Life evaluation:
Subjects filled out a survey (DASS-21) to evaluate their mental state of depression,
anxiety and stress78 to determine the quality of life impact of the intervention. The surveys
were manually scored and the deidentified data were entered into excel for analysis.
Analysis:
Balance evaluation:
In this study we used a BerTec 6040 force platform with a dual pass of a 6-pole, low
pass, Butterworth filter producing a zero-lag filter with an effective cutoff frequency of 40 Hz,79
along with the Axoscope 10.2 to analyze postural sway similar to those used in the Dault
study29. Each of these conditions was assessed at 1000 Hz for the middle 30 seconds
eliminating the step on and off period to ensure steady state. The foam measured 12.7 cm in
depth. Readings of Anterior/Posterior and Medial/Lateral Center of Pressure (COP)
Peterson 2019
18
displacement, COP area, and COP path length were taken from this assessment using
WaveMetrics Inc., Igor Pro 6.34A; OR, USA program. Center of pressure was assessed from the
ground reaction force record in accordance with Newton’s first law:
𝐶𝑜𝑃𝑋 = −𝑀𝑦
𝐹𝑧
𝐶𝑜𝑃𝑌 =𝑀𝑥
𝐹𝑧
We calculated the center of pressure area by writing a code in Igor to convert the non-
simple figure generated by the raw data using the maximum and minimum values to find the
perimeter of the figures. We then calculated the area using a modification of Green’s Theorem
for a simple closed figure. Where c is the clockwise oriented simple closed curve.
𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝑜𝑓 𝐷 = ∬ 𝑑𝐴
=1
2∫𝑥𝑑𝑦 − 𝑦𝑑𝑥
𝐶
We calculated percent change in the pre to post intervention measurements to remove
the variability between subjects. This was calculated by using the formula:
𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 =(𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎 − 𝑝𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎)
𝑝𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎× 100
Quality of Life evaluation:
Quality of life scores were separated into their respective categories and then summed
to get each subject’s score before and after the intervention.
Peterson 2019
19
Considerations:
Subjects gave their written informed consent to engage in all measures and activities
associated with this study.
Statistical Procedures:
Statistical analysis using 3x2, 2x2 ANOVA and a two-tailed independent t-test for
balance measures as well as 3x2 and 2X2 ANOVA for quality of life measures in SPSS.
Significance was set at p<0.05.
Peterson 2019

Chapter 4 Results:
Twenty-six subjects participated in pre assessment of quality of life and balance testing
consisting of surveys and analysis of balance in six conditions each with twenty- three
completing the study for a total of 49 quality of life surveys and 294 balance scores assessed.
Further analysis of these scores broke each of these conditions into ten categories that were
evaluated: Center of Pressure Area, Displacement, Anterior-Posterior Displacement, Medial-
lateral Displacement, Average Velocity, Peak Velocity, AP Average Velocity, ML Average
Velocity, AP Peak Velocity and ML Peak Velocity.
Each of the subjects participated in weekly practice sessions and dance classes with the
duration of each being 1.5 hours. Both TBI participants missed one class and they attended all
practice sessions. Of the treatment group four had perfect attendance, two missed a practice
session, and three missed both a class and a practice session which was the maximum to miss
without being removed from the study.
In the treatment groups there were n=2 with TBI and n=12 without TBI three of which
were removed due to non-compliance with attendance protocols. The control group had n=12
subjects. The TBI group had one female aged 43 and one male aged 48. In the treatment
control group, there were six females aged 34±12 years and four males aged 27±13years. The
control group included six females aged 29±9 years and six males aged 33±8 years.
Quality of Life:
Using the DASS-21, the scale of the data are 0-21 in all categories and the data are
without units.

Depression:
There was not a main effect of time, nor a significant time*group interaction for
depression (Figure 2A).
Anxiety:
There was not a main effect of time, nor a significant time*group interaction for anxiety
(Figure 2B).
Stress:
There was a p=0.029 time*group significant interaction in the treatment control group

Balance:
There were six conditions for each of the ten categories: feet together with eyes open
(FTEO), feet together with eyes closed (FTEC), feet apart with eyes open (FAEO), feet together
on foam with eyes open (FFTEO), feet together on foam with eyes closed (FFTEC), and feet
apart on foam with eyes open (FFAEO). The level of difficulty for the subjects from least to
most difficult is as follows: FAEO, FTEO, FFAEO, FTEC, FFTEO, and FFTEC as demonstrated in

Effect of tango independent of TBI:
Because of the low numbers of TBI patients in this study, data was also analyzed by a 2x2
ANOVA on the TC and CG. This resulted in a significant main effect of time in the areas of
center of pressure area (FFAEO) in the treatment control group p=0.025, displacement for the
treatment control group (FFTEC) p=0.006 and both groups (FFAEO) p=0.016. The velocity
changes were also significantly altered in the areas of: average velocity for both groups (FFAEO)
p=0.017, Peak velocity for the treatment control group (FFTEC) p=0.001 and for both groups
(FFAEO) p=0.040, AP average velocity for the treatment control group (FFTEC) p=0.032, AP peak
velocity for the treatment control group (FFTEC) p= 0.013, ML average velocity for both groups
(FFTEC) p=0.002, and for the treatment control group (FAEO) p=0.045. There were also several
trends for time*group interactions, including COP area (FFTEO) p=0.089 and AP displacement
(FAEO) p=0.070.

Chapter 5 Discussion:
This is the first study to explore tango as an intervention for traumatic brain injury. The
tango groups showed the most improvement in the most areas. The non-intervention control
group did show improvements, though those may be explained by the learning effect of testing.
The TBI group improved in seven of the thirteen areas tested and significantly more than the
other groups in two of the seven. The treatment control group showed improvement in seven
of thirteen areas with significant improvement in three of the seven while the control group
only showed improvement in six of thirteen areas with no significance on their own.
Quality of Life:
While there was no significance shown in the reduction of depression or anxiety, the
treatment control group who participated in the tango intervention showed significant
improvement in stress. These stress findings are consistent with those of Pinniger et al. 2012
whose healthy subjects danced tango and were compared to controls37. Furthermore,
anecdotally, several subjects reported they felt better after the tango. One noticed an
improvement in online quizzes when taken after tango classes compared to before starting the
classes, which is corroborated by studies which examine exercise and learning80–82.
Balance:
In this study, the primary change of interest was how the tango intervention
changed subject’s balance measures over time. There were trends of changes with time. While
not statistically significant, whether from the variability between the subjects and/or the small
sample size, it is apparent from the data that while the control group remains relatively steady,
there are consistent improvements in the tango treatment groups. These improvements are
Peterson 2019
50
consistent with other research on tango compared with other types of movement therapy. In
2011, Ricotti et al. studied 9 year old soccer players and found that break dancing improved
their objective balance measures over 6 months of training83. Additionally, Bavli et al. 2016
tested basketball players with an aerobic dance class to ascertain if it would influence their
balance and according to their static flamingo test, dance was an effective way to improve
these healthy athlete’s balance84.
Figures 7 and 13 and show trends in changes of displacement and average velocity
respectively. The percent change of the control group remains relatively consistent, where the
percent change of the intervention groups show more improvement especially in the area
FFTEC which is the most difficult of the challenges presented to the subjects. These types of
improvements following tango interventions were noted in the studies by Hackney et al. 2007
and 2009 using Berg Balance testing on Parkinson’s patients10,26. While the Berg balance test,
in conjunction with the other tests used in their study, is an effective means of establishing a
subject’s balance, it is still a subjective measure. Our study was unique in that our measure of
balance eliminated the subjectivity of these measures and relied on the objectivity of the force
plates. Rodacki et al. (2017) studied ballroom dancing and used both the subjective measures
of the timed up and go and six minute walking test as well as the objectivity of force plate
analysis. They found that there was a significant change over time and between groups after
the dancing intervention in CoP area and displacement. Unlike our study, however, they had
very little variability in subjects as they used only older women as their subjects. They also had
a longer time interval eight weeks vs six and their subjects met three times per week instead of
two.

TBI
Our small population of subjects with traumatic brain injury showed a significant
decrease (54%) in the center of pressure area measure with feet together on foam with eyes
closed the treatment control improved only 13% and the control group got worse by 43%. The
anterior-posterior velocity was decreased by 27% compared to a decrease of 17% in the
treatment control and 4% in the control groups with feet together on foam with eyes closed.
These changes did not reach a significant time*group interaction, however this could be due to
the low power by having only an n=2 in our TBI group, or the large variance in our outcomes.
Yet, this remains to our knowledge the first study to evaluate tango as a treatment intervention
in TBI sufferers.
Treatment Control:
The treatment control groups improved in anterior-posterior displacement by 21% while
the other groups appeared to worsen (TBI, 47%; and CG, 15%) with feet apart eyes open. Peak
anterior-posterior velocity was decreased by 21% compared to TBI’s 23% and CG’s 3%
decreases with feet together on foam with eyes closed. These changes did not reach a
significant time*group interaction, however this could be due to low power, or the large
variance in our outcomes. Together, however, despite our more robust measurements of
balance this work supports previous investigations utilizing tango as an intervention on the
improvement of balance10,16,17,20,21,26,.
Peterson 2019
52
Limitations:
There may have been several reasons why we did not find statistical significance of the
tango intervention. The first is the variance in the subjects. Previous studies had a narrow
range of ages of their subject pool—usually within seven years while I had a SD of twelve years
in the treatment control group. The aging effect on balance85 itself is enough to exacerbate the
variability to skew the data. Secondly, the number of subjects was lacking. We did not have
enough individuals to have statistical power for the TBI group to show effect. Additionally, the
time frame of the treatment was too short. Most studies that evaluated balance were two to
four weeks longer than our study10,16,17,23,26.
Chapter 6 Conclusion:
This study shows that tango may have an effect on both individuals with and without
traumatic brain injury on balance. Furthermore, tango demonstrated reductions in stress in all
the subjects that participated in the intervention.

Appendix 2:
Day 1
- Entrance, solo walking to music while everyone arrives
- Warm up with where are you standing on your foot and grounding to push off to step
- Tango play
- Practice embrace (arms on chest), slots, simple straight walking
- Slots, walking, pause
- Slots, walking/pause/ sidestep
- Slots, walking with big step vs small step, fast step vs slow step
- Introduction to rock step solo
- Practice embrace (arms on chest), Rock step with partner (forward, side, with rotation)
- Sugar bowl similar Practice embrace (leads hands on follower arms)
- Introduction to line of dance
Forward walking around corner, if working try tight circle
Twisting to Cross walking in parallel (lead steps to outside of followers trailing leg)
Big side step with ankle attitude
Day 2
-Warm up
-Just Walking - halfway thorough song switch who is walking backwards
-Finding your axis
-Calicita drill to feel pivot (shoulders connected to feet)
Peterson 2019
65
-Solo pivot practice with group
-Any steps dance - big steps, super slow
-Little guns
-big guns
-Any steps dance - small steps
-Followers initiate ochos, lead is there for moral support
-Leads lead the ochos
-Any steps dance - Poema
-Cross walking if there’s time
Day 3
-Review of walking, pause, side step, self pivot. Demonstrated rock step.
-Gave them chances for free dance.
-Review and practice of back ocho
-Introduce front ocho
-Lots of drilling and in place practice.
-Introduce walking ochos
-Introduce basic left hand turn
-Ended with general musicality/ movement attitude
A turn -> probably review ochos, introduce front ochos, have a turn occur out of front ochos
Peterson 2019
66
How to keep them engaged (introduce more musicality?), how to help those who are
frustrated/struggling from feeling left out.
Day 4
Suggested: Review connection, even compression, and delayed compression (go back to slots
and practice embrace again temporarily?) /control while spiraling pivoting/ and being
responsible to move oneself (dance with no hands, maybe do this one twice? First and last?),
Introduce molinete, practice what we’ve learned
Day 5
Suggested: Brief review of previous steps and introduce the Quality&Type game (teacher prep:
find classical songs that go well with the different qualities and ones that can be interpreted in
more than one way), no new “steps” introduced in this class, emphasis on musicality
(specifically classical) MAKE SURE THERE IS A DRY ERASE MARKER WE CAN USE if we can
borrow the whiteboard?
Day 6
Suggested: Review as needed, Introduce Parada pasada with sandwich and follower options,
practice what we’ve learned and encourage fun
-Review ochos
-give dance
-Review molinete
Peterson 2019
67
-give dance
-Back to ochos, practice
-give dance
-Ochos, slowing down the follower, pausing the follower in the middle of the step, follower is
focused on technique while listening to the lead
-give dance
-Ochos, can lead balance mostly on one foot while slowing to pause the follower before
collection and then slide their opposite foot to meet the follower trailing foot, sandwich, then
invite follower to collect on forward foot. [Teacher Stop there and let them practice for a short
moment] Continuing step by follower stepping over and resolving pivot to face lead. Lead has
shifted weight to step onto outstretched foot.
-give dance
-Some follower adorno ideas
-Some lead adorno ideas
-Rotate each dance to practice with new people until end of class.
