“…Nowadays, music intervention has a similar purpose when compared to physical activity in patients with AD, but music intervention may use totally different techniques to achieve these goals. Music intervention utilizes methods such as rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS), therapeutic instrumental music performance, and musical neglect training to patients’ movement ( Wittwer et al, 2019 ; Braun Janzen et al, 2021 ). Studies about combined physical activity and music intervention are very limited, but it has proven important for patients with AD.…”

ObjectiveAlzheimer’s disease (AD) can be treated in different ways, one of which is combined physical activity and music intervention, which is a non-pharmacological one. This study provided a thorough systematic review on the application of combined physical activity and music intervention in patients with AD.MethodOnline sources, such as PubMed, Web of Science, SAGE Premier, EBSCO, and Cochrane, published from January 2002 to March 2022 were searched for articles. Reviewer screened articles on inclusion criteria and identified relevant studies. 200 studies were selected as potentially relevant; of these, eight met all the inclusion criteria.ResultsThe systemic review looked at eight studies, two of which had high methodological quality and six were of moderate quality. Various types of research were included: randomized controlled tails, single-subject study, crossover study, and case report. Music intervention was conducted during an exercise program in six studies. A cognitive stimulation was applied with music therapy and physical activities among two studies. The physical activities or movements included balance training, stretching, strengthening, and different sports activities. Outcome assessment, including the Barthel index in two studies and the functional independence measure, was conducted to evaluate the daily functional score. Mental health was evaluated by Mini-Mental State Examination in three studies.ConclusionCombined physical activity and music intervention are beneficial and improve the cognition, function and well-being of patients with AD. Supporting combined physical and music intervention will play a key role in helping clinical guidelines for both physical therapists and music therapists.

“…In a neurorehabilitation setting, Street et al (2019) found indications that the auditory-motor pathway can be potentially fortified when the external auditory cues are internalized and patients are able to synchronize their movements independently. Other studies using Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation, which is also based on auditory-motor synchronization, have demonstrated its high success in gait training for various neuropathological gait disorders ( Thaut and Abiru, 2010 ; Braun Janzen et al, 2022 ). Studies have also supported the efficacy of music therapy on mood, depressive syndromes, and the quality of life of neurological patients ( Raglio, 2015 ).…”

Nonverbal interpersonal synchronization has been established as an important factor in therapeutic relationships, and the differentiation of who leads the interaction appears to provide further important information. We investigated nonverbal synchrony – quantified as the coordination of body movement between patient and therapist. This was observed in music therapy dyads, while engaged in verbal interaction before and after a music intervention in the session. We further examined associations with patients’ self-reported therapy readiness at the beginning of the session. Eleven neurological in-patients participated in this study. Our results showed an increase in both nonverbal synchrony and patient leading after the music intervention. A significant negative correlation was found between self-reported therapy readiness and nonverbal synchrony after the music intervention. These findings point to the empathic ability of the music therapist to sense patients’ therapy readiness. Higher patient leading in nonverbal synchrony after the music intervention may thus indicate that the music intervention may have allowed dyadic entrainment to take place, potentially increasing self-regulation and thus empowering patients.

“…The use of music therapy-based auditory stimulations (MT) to achieve therapeutic goals has emerged as a promising intervention for individuals with TBI and SCI [ 10 ]. MT has been shown to influence various aspects of physical and cognitive functioning [ 11 ], including gait, in individuals with TBI and SCI [ 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Studies have suggested several methods by which MT can facilitate the spatial and temporal aspects of gait (i.e., speed, cadence, stride length etc.).…”

Does Music Therapy Improve Gait after Traumatic Brain Injury and Spinal Cord Injury? A Mini Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

There is a growing body of research examining the potential benefits of music therapy-based auditory stimulation (MT) for individuals with movement disorders in improving gait performance. However, there is limited knowledge about the effects of MT on gait outcomes in individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) or spinal cord injury (SCI). A previous review of MT’s impact on gait in TBI had limitations, and there are no studies on its effects on gait in SCI. In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis to more thoroughly evaluate the impact of MT on gait outcomes in individuals with TBI and SCI. We systematically searched through eight databases and found six studies on MT in TBI and four on SCI. Our meta-analysis showed that MT has positive medium effect improvements on spatiotemporal aspects of gait in individuals with TBI (Hedge’s g: 0.52) and SCI (0.53). These findings suggest that MT could be a practical intervention for enhancing different aspects of gait in these populations, although the limited number and “fair” quality of the studies included in the meta-analysis may affect the generalizability of the outcomes. Further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms by which MT may influence gait and determine the optimal parameters for its use.
