Various wide of dancers\u003cbr/\u003eDancing the Tango and enjoying yoga  classes could be the best way to cope with the effects of Parkinson's disease.\u003cbr/\u003eOne hospital in Buenos Aires has been carrying out a study involving 25 patients.\u003cbr/\u003eMany patients involved in the study say the therapy has helped their general health, and they claim their quality of life has improved.\u003cbr/\u003eParkinson's disease is one of the most common neurological disorders. \u003cbr/\u003eIt is a progressive nervous disease characterised by muscular tremor, slowing of movement, partial facial paralysis, peculiarity of gait and posture, and weakness. \u003cbr/\u003eIt affects nearly twenty percent of senior persons worldwide. \u003cbr/\u003eThe number of people suffering from the disease is estimated at twenty five million.\u003cbr/\u003eThe research was conducted here at the \"Hospital de Clinicas\", part of the Medical School of The University of Buenos Aires, one of the most  famous and renowned medical schools in Latin America.  \u003cbr/\u003eThe \"centre for Parkinson's and other Neurological Diseases\"  recently unveiled the findings of one study, conducted in 2004 and 2005. \u003cbr/\u003eThe study involved a group of twenty five patients suffering from Parkinson's disease. \u003cbr/\u003eThe patients received therapy that combined yoga classes and tango lessons. \u003cbr/\u003eNearly half of the participants said their quality of life improved since the treatment.\u003cbr/\u003eThe relaxation the patients attain through yoga helps them accept and acknowledge the adversity of their disease.\u003cbr/\u003eYoga and tango dancing classes help develop the patients self perception, body rhythm and expression as well as their voice.\u003cbr/\u003eDr. Jorge Michelis a specialist in Parkinson's disease says the complicated dance forces the patients to make the \u003cbr/\u003e\"movements consciously\", which helps their general mobility. \u003cbr/\u003eCristina Pecci, Sociologist, leader of \"Life quality\" programme agrees that the tango helps patients better control their body. \u003cbr/\u003eThe combined exercises added to appropriate medical treatment and observation, resulted in improvement in the patients' conditions, the report said. \u003cbr/\u003eDr Michelis also says that the dance groups help patients overcome the social stigmas associated with the disease. \u003cbr/\u003eOne of the aspects evaluated during the classes was the mood of the patients.\u003cbr/\u003eWhen the programme precipitants were asked about the conviviality during the classes the vast majority of them commented on the high level of companionship amongst them.\u003cbr/\u003eThese Parkinson's sufferers also took pride in the fact the the Tango is one of Argentina's most famous export. \u003cbr/\u003eThey are finding that  dancing their way to a longer and more fulfilling life is proving to be a lot of fun.
