Figure 2. Association of Dance-Based Mind-Motor Activities With Balance and Mobility.

Effect sizes are Hedges g standardized mean differences (SMDs). Weights are from random-effects analysis. Box sizes correspond to precision; the bigger the box, the more precise. Precision was determined as the inverse of the variance for each estimate. For balance (A), assessments included the Berg Balance Scale, 1-leg stance, and functional reach. For the Berg Balance Scale and 1-leg stance, an increase of time indicates an improvement in the test result. For functional reach, an increase in reached distance indicates an improvement. Hence, positive values would favor the intervention groups over the control groups. For mobility (B), all included trials assessed mobility with the Timed Up and Go test. Decreased completion time indicated improvement in the Time Up and Go Test result. Hence, negative values would favor the intervention groups over the control groups.
