Summary

Fractures are common accidents for long-term hospitalized patients with schizophrenia (SZ) in psychiatric hospitals, and once they occur, patients usually endure the pain of fractures for a long time. Accumulating evidence has supported implementing dance/movement therapy (DMT) as a promising intervention for patients with SZ. However, no study has been conducted to investigate its role in balance ability and metabolic parameters in SZ. This study was designed to investigate the treatment outcome of a 12-week DMT intervention on bone mineral density, balance ability, and metabolic profile in patients with SZ using a randomized, controlled trial design.
