“…The latest scientific research carried out in the animal model of PD ( Farley et al, 2008 ) illustrated that physical exercises with different stimuli are as efficient as a physiotherapy method, modifying the course of the disease and contributing to the functional improvement of patients. Furthermore, researchers place emphasis on the significant influence of music and rhythm on motor function, gait, mobility, and patient’s quality of life ( Paccetti et al, 2000 ; Howe et al, 2003 ; Moore et al, 2006 ; Leins et al, 2009 ; De Bruin et al, 2010 ; Pasek et al, 2010 ). Therefore, the extensive application of sound and rhythmic stimulation in the basic rehabilitation program for patients struggling with the PD is supported by these pilot level findings.…”

Idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive condition with gait disturbance and balance disorder as the main symptoms. Previous research studies focused on the application of Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS) in PD gait rehabilitation. The key hypothesis of this pilot study, however, assumes the major role of the combination of all three Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) sensorimotor techniques in improving spatio-temporal gait parameters, and postural stability in the course of PD. The 55 PD-diagnosed subjects invited to the study were divided into two groups: 30 in the experimental and 25 in the control group. Inclusion criteria included Hoehn and Yahr stages 2 or 3, the ability to walk independently without any aid and stable pharmacological treatment for the duration of the experiment. In order to evaluate the efficacy of the chosen therapy procedure the following measures were applied: Optoelectrical 3D Movement Analysis, System BTS Smart for gait, and Computerized Dynamic Posturography CQ Stab for stability and balance. All measures were conducted both before and after the therapy cycle. The subjects from the experimental group attended music therapy sessions four times a week for 4 weeks. Therapeutic Instrumental Music Performance (TIMP), Pattern Sensory Enhancement (PSE) and RAS were used in every 45-min session for practicing daily life activities, balance, pre-gait, and gait pattern. Percussion instruments, the metronome and rhythmic music were the basis for each session. The subjects from the control group were asked to stay active and perform daily life activities between the measures. The research showed that the combination of the three NMT sensorimotor techniques can be used to improve gait and other rhythmical activities in PD rehabilitation. The results demonstrated significant improvement in the majority of the spatiotemporal gait parameters in the experimental group in comparison to the control group. In the stability tests with eyes closed, substantial differences were revealed, indicating improvement of proprioception (the sense of body position and movement). These findings suggest a new compensatory strategy for movement and postural control through the use of the auditory system.

“…Vocalizations, linking syllables and words, chunked into rhyme and lyrics, encouraged learning through songs ( Leins et al, 2009 ). To enhance self-esteem by accepting (negative and positive) lyrics, problem-solving skills were behaviourally trained and destructive feelings modulated or reduced.…”

“…This functions as a safe “bridge” between talking and singing: rhythm can structure one’s ability to synchronize to an external beat – a human capacity ( Koelsch, 2015 ) – and might stimulate the brain by integrating and organizing sensations. Singing can involve a greater emotional component in the brain than speaking ( Callan, Kawato, Parsons, & Turner, 2007 ; Leins, Spintge, & Thaut, 2009 ), which may be essential for the development of sensitivity and processes of learning. Vocal engagement, supported by rhythmic clapping, stamping, dancing or moving the body, invites participants to develop emotional, social and physical cooperation and to strengthen group cohesion ( Hallam, 2010 ; Koelsch et al, 2013 ).…”

Music as an effective self-regulative tool for emotions and behavioural adaptation for adolescents might enhance emotion-related skills when applied as a therapeutic school intervention. This study investigated Rap & Sing Music Therapy in a school-based programme, to support self-regulative abilities for well-being. One-hundred-and-ninety adolescents in grade 8 of a public school in the Netherlands were randomly assigned to an experimental group involving Rap & Sing Music Therapy or a control group. Both interventions were applied to six classes once a week during four months. Measurements at baseline and again after four months provided outcome data of adolescents’ psychological well-being, self-description, self-esteem and emotion regulation. Significant differences between groups on the SDQ teacher test indicated a stabilized Rap & Sing Music Therapy group, as opposed to increased problems in the control group (p = .001; ηp2 = .132). Total problem scores of all tests indicated significant improvements in the Rap & Sing Music Therapy group. The RCT results imply overall benefits of Rap & Sing Music Therapy in a school setting. There were improved effects on all measures – as they are in line with school interventions of motivational engagement in behavioural, emotional and social themes – a promising result.

“…The role of music in the lives of individuals over 65 years has received increasing attention in recent years in relation to positive aging and well‐being (Coffman, 2002; Cohen et al , 2002; Harrison and Ryan, 2010; Hays and Minichiello, 2005), and the benefits of music therapy, particularly in the treatment of neurological disorders resulting from stroke or dementias (Leins et al , 2009; Raglio et al , 2008). With some notable exceptions (e.g.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to assist researchers considering the benefits and constraints of re‐using previously collected data (sourced from media in the public domain) as the sample for a grounded theory qualitative research inquiry.Design/methodology/approachThe paper identifies what were perceived by the researchers as methodological challenges, encountered in the context of a study using grounded theory methodology. The seven areas included: the re‐use of qualitative data, forming the research question, developing the research approach, refining the methodology, ensuring data quality, maintaining methodological integrity, and developing ethical boundaries. It outlines the process of working through these challenges and explains the solutions adopted throughout the course of the research project.FindingsThe findings from this study indicate that while re‐using data can be perceived as a constraint in qualitative research, what is not adequately taken into consideration is the actual quality of the archival material that forms the body of collected data. The researchers also illustrate the benefits of using rich archival material in the context of a single research project and caution that the re‐use of previously collected data is not a soft option, nor does it offer a fast track to completion.Research limitations/implicationsSolutions to challenges described in the article may not be immediately applicable to other research contexts or archives of data.Practical implicationsResearchers can adopt approaches similar to those outlined in the paper to assess the applicability of archives of previously‐collected qualitative data as the sample for complementary or supplementary research.Originality/valueThe paper presents solutions to seven commonly perceived challenges to the re‐use of previously collected data as the sample for qualitative research.
