Performance of expert dancers (ED) and a matched control group (CG) for selected tests covering cognitive, posture and balance, motor, and tactile domains. Participants of the ED group showed (a) higher scores in the RSPM (z = −2.776, P = 0.006), (b) shorter Up and go times (z = −3.819, P ≤ 0.001), (c) less errors in the Aiming test for the right hand (z = −2.808, P = 0.005), and (d) lower 2-Point-discrimination thresholds for the right index finger (z = −2.434, P = 0.015). Horizontal lines within the boxes represent the medians. Boxes show the top and bottom quartiles, and whiskers represent the minima and maxima within 1.5 interquartile range (IQR). Outliers (>3.0 IQR) are labeled as solid dots.
