Abstract
En 中文
Informal care partners often experience role-engulfment and decreased quality of life. Alexander technique is a non-exercise, cognitive embodiment training common in performing arts. Studies have shown it to have physical benefits including pain reduction and improved balance and coordination, as well as non-physical benefits like increased wellbeing, confidence, and agency. We assessed feasibility and preliminary efficacy of an Alexander-based group course for care partners of people living with neurodegenerative disease.
