Therapeutic Instrumental Music Performance With Sensory-Enhanced Motor Imagery in Chronic Post-Stroke Rehabilitation

NCT03246217 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2019-09-16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Research has shown that music engages the brain bilaterally throughout cortical and subcortical regions, accessing extended sensorimotor, cognitive and affective networks. This research explores the hypothesis that use of these shared neural networks allows neurologic music therapy interventions targeting upper extremity motor control to promote plasticity and functional improvements in persons recovering from a cerebrovascular accident. The potential therapeutic benefits of these interventions on attentional processes and affective responding will also be examined.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Therapeutic Instrumental Music Performance

Participants will play a variety of instruments (acoustic and electronic) to facilitate retraining of everyday functional movements.

BEHAVIORAL

Therapeutic Performance with Sensory-Enhanced Motor Imagery

Participants will listen to a metronome set to their preferred pace for previously practised movements while engaging in motor imagery.

BEHAVIORAL

Therapeutic Performance with Motor Imagery

Participants will engage in motor imagery of previously practised movements.
