“…Third, feedback is the important factor for motor learning 22 . In this study sensory information from the audio cues and from visual and somato sensory sources, provided intrinsic feed back to the patient regarding the movement goal 23. Our findings suggest that even patients with severe upper extremity hemiparesis can improve with bilateral arm training with rhythmic auditory cueing program.…”

“…In addition, the regularity of RAS results in recruitment of more motor neurons by adjusting the activities of motor neurons, leading to patterns of neural activation which are more regular and synchronized 35) . In this study, we believe that having the subjects perform various tasks in time with auditory stimulation, that was continuously provided, resulted in reductions in task performance times and improvements in the motor abilities required for balance and gait through activation of the motor system.…”

Abstract. [Purpose] This study examined the effects of rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) gait training on dynamic balance and gait ability of patients with subacute stroke using a smartphone metronome application. [Subjects] A total of 20 patients with subacute stroke were randomly divided into a rhythmic auditory stimulation gait training group (RAS group, n=10) and a control group (n=10).[Methods] Both groups received a two daily 30-min sessions of conventional physical therapy. Patients in the RAS group practiced rhythm auditory stimulation gait training using a smartphone metronome application, with a 30-minute training period three times per week for five weeks. The Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale, Dynamic Gait Index (DGI), Four Square Step Test (FSST), Functional Ambulation Category (FAC), Timed Up and Go test (TUG test), Up stair and Down stair times, and the GAITRite system were used for performance improvements measurements.[Results] Increases in dynamic balance and spatiotemporal gait parameters were observed in both groups. Compared with the control group, the RAS group showed significant improvements in scores on the ABC scale, DGI, TUG, and Up stair and Down stair times (p< 0.01).[Conclusion] RAS gait training using a smartphone metronome application improved the dynamic balance and gait abilities of patients with subacute stroke.

“…Music therapy within neurorehabilitation settings is still a relatively new phenomenon (Baker & Tamplin, 2010). Yet although a number of former studies have striven to show the importance of using music or music therapy in stroke rehabilitation (Särkämö, 2011;Thaut, 1997;Hommel et al, 1990;Soto et al 2009;Bradt, Magee, Dileo, Wheeler & McGilloway, 2010) not so many have been made from the perspective of the music therapists themselves. Considering these are the people most involved with this part of the stroke rehabilitation process, it seems only fair to ask them more closely as to how it actually occurs.…”

The aim of this qualitative study is to gain more insight into the skills and knowledge that music therapists feel they need, in order to work successfully with people who have had an acute stroke. For this purpose, six music therapists were interviewed about their own particular specialist education. Another interview topic for them was to recount their subjective experiences of poststroke rehabilitation work in hospitals and health care units during the course of two projects that they participated in. The first was a project that specifically used music listening during acute stroke rehabilitation; and the second was a project, which used more active music therapy techniques, like drumming during acute stroke rehabilitation.In the first project, patients who were bedridden in hospitals or health care units could listen to familiar songs that stimulated them in both a physical and cognitive way, and helped them to relax and regulate their moods better. In the second project different therapeutic approaches were observed and reflected upon during the piloting phase of the project and then an ideal combination of the activities was defined for the main phase. The resulting clinical music therapy model was thus created to specifically meet the special needs of stroke patients.Three crucial factors gleaned from the interviews that were seen to affect clinical thinking were: a) knowledge concerning the neurological basis of strokes; b) good patient interaction; and c) accurate observation of the physiological and psychological aspects of music therapy. In this way, these results provide a better understanding of the tacit knowledge possessed by music therapists who work within stroke rehabilitation.
