The purpose of this thesis is to develop and understand dance balance characteristics on various kinds of dance, related positions and shoe types which contribute to dance performance and to understand different balance controls in various groups. The first study was conducted to examine balance into ballet 2nd position between Ballet shoes and Pointe shoes. Eight dancers performed five different conditions in ballet 2nd position (Ballet Flat, Ballet Demi, Pointe Flat, Pointe Demi, and Pointe Toe) and Centre of Pressure (COP) was used to assess balance. The second study was testing balance control and response to perturbations whilst standing on double leg stance dance positions using a moving platform. Four dance positions were performed by eight subjects (Normal Flat, Turnout Flat, Normal Demi and Turnout Demi) and the platform was moved in two different directions (Forward and Backward) at two different speeds (slow and fast). Kinetics, Kinematics and EMG data was taken from this study. The third study was taken to compare balance control and response to perturbations in single leg standing dance positions between eight dancers and eight gymnasts. The subjects performed static single leg balance in Normal Flat, Turnout Flat, Normal Demi and Turnout Demi. Also, perturbed stance trials were collected in anterior, posterior, right and left directions for two dance positions (Normal Flat and Turnout Flat) at two different speeds (slow and fast) on the moving platform. The results from the studies indicate that dancers move in Medial - Lateral direction more than in Anterior - Posterior direction on Demi-pointe and Toe standing by performing plantar flexion during ballet 2nd position. Demi-pointe position may cause longer delay of EMG latencies because CNS is probably sending information already to keep correcting balance on Demi-pointe. Dancers and Gymnasts have different balance controls due to their ways of training in their performance. Dancers generally reacted faster with slow perturbation in Turnout stance than Gymnasts because this is the particular condition which Dancers are training in.

Materials and Methods: The population sample that was part of this project consisted of 24 children with CP between 4 and 12 years old. The children were divided randomly into two groups (control group: mobility training with virtual reality and use transcranial stimulation placebo; Experimental Group: mobility training using virtual reality and transcranial stimulation active) and evaluated at four different times (pre -intervention, immediately after the first session, after the intervention and one month after intervention). The static balance was evaluated by force platform in four conditions: feet flat on the platform with open eyes, feet on the platform with eyes closed, feet in the open foam eyes, feet foam eyes closed for 30 seconds each. The Functional Balance was measured by Pediatric Balance Scale(PBS) and Timed Up and Go(TUG). Results: The analysis of the immediate effect of treatment with transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) only sway velocity showed a significant interaction. In the analysis of the effects of the training area, Center of Pressure (COP) speed and frequency presented significatia interaction as well as the EEP and TUG Conclusion: It is suggested that tDCS interferes with the static and functional balance of children with CP. / Objetivo: Verificar os efeitos da estimulação transcraniana por corrente contínua no córtex motor primário, associada ao treino mobilidade com realidade virtual sobre o equilíbrio estático e funcional de crianças com paralisia cerebral (PC). Materiais e Métodos: A amostra populacional que fez parte deste projeto foi composta de 24 crianças com PC entre 4 e 12 anos de idade. As crianças foram alocadas aleatoriamente em dois grupos (Grupo Controle: treino de mobilidade com uso de realidade virtual e estimulação transcraniana placebo; Grupo Experimental: treino de mobilidade com o uso de realidade virtual e estimulação transcraniana ativa) e avaliadas em quatro momentos distintos (pré-intervenção,imediatamente após a primeira sessão, pós-intervenção e um mês após as intervenções). O equilíbrio estático foi avaliado através da plataforma de força em quatro condições: pés apoiados na plataforma com olhos abertos, pés na plataforma com olhos fechados, pés na espuma olhos abertos, pés espuma olhos fechados, por 30 segundos cada. O Equilíbrio Funcional foi medido por meio da Escala de Equilíbrio Pediátrica (EEP) e Timed Up and Go (TUG). Resultados: Na Análise do Efeito imediato do tratamento com Estimulação Transcraniana por Corrente Contínua(ETCC) somente a velocidade de oscilação apresentou interação significativa. Já na análise dos efeitos do Treinamento a área, velocidade e frequência do Centro de Pressão (CoP) apresentaram interação significatia, bem como o EEP e TUG Conclusão: Sugere-se que a ETCC interfere sobre o equilíbrio estático e funcional de crianças com PC.
