摘要：

A group of 16 healthy older adults participated in a movement with music program to enhance physical flexibility, balance, and gait speed. The program, designed by a Laban Movement Analyst, consisted of 14 movement sequences set to music composed to reflect the dynamics, rhythm, timing, and phrasing of the movements. After 5 weeks, individuals showed statistically significant increases in measures of one-foot stance balance, gait speed, and functional reach. From the 5th to the 14th week, improvements continued in all measures but were not statistically significant.
