Neurologic music therapy utilizes music, rhythm, and beat to help retrain the brain. This is appealing for stroke survivors because rewiring the brain, a process formally known as neuroplasticity, is the essence of recovery. Through neuroplasticity, the brain can make incredible adaptive changes, enlisting healthy areas of the brain to control func...
Neurological music therapy can help stroke survivors recover a wide range of functions including but not limited to movement, speech, and cognition. For example, if an individual is relearning how to walk after a stroke, a therapist may use a musical beat to help pace their steps. Here are some of the major benefits of music therapy for stroke pati...
Since specially-trained music therapists are not always readily available, time with a music therapist is both valuable and often limited. Some survivors are fortunate enough to participate in music therapy once a week, which leaves six days in between sessions where neuroplasticity begins to wane. To help keep the brain stimulated and maximize rec...
Music therapy can serve as an effective form of treatment for stroke survivors because it is a fun and motivating way to practice high repetitions of activities that stimulate the brain. Consistently stimulating the brain encourages adaptive changes through neuroplasticity. Therefore, the more you practice, the better you’ll get. We hope this artic...
How can music improve stroke recovery? Music therapies can be considered part of the alternative therapies regarding cerebrovascular diseases and their impact. Several post-stroke deficits, like language, motor, or cognitive deficits, can be successfully targeted using therapies that involve music. Music therapy is an option that implies several advantages over other rehabilitation techniques ...
Jan 12, 2021 · Music-Supported Therapy (MST) is an effective intervention to enhance motor and cognitive function, emotional well-being and quality of life in chronic stroke patients. We have adapted the original MST training protocol to a home-based intervention, which incorporates increased training intensity and variability, group sessions, and optimisation of learning to promote autonomy and motivation.

Mar 22, 2024 · 1.9 million brain cells die every minute during a stroke, making emergency treatment critical. Science has long investigated the power of music on the brain and found that it has several beneficial impacts, including activating the brain’s reward centre, helping to create new neural connections, and improving mood.

Aug 7, 2024 · Objective Many stroke survivors still present with upper-limb paresis six months post-stroke, impacting their autonomy and quality of life (QoL). We designed an enriched Music-supported Therapy (eMST) program to reduce disability in this population. We evaluated the eMST’s effectiveness in improving functional abilities and QoL in chronic stroke individuals compared to the conventional motor ...
