Music Therapy for Rehabilitation in Stroke Patients

NCT03306797 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 65

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study uses a specific hand tracking sensor (Leap Motion Controller) to catch the movements of the arm combined with proper pre-defined musical patterns (sonification) in a neurologic music therapy perspective. The aim of the experiment is to verify the efficacy of sonification technique (compared to usual care) in the hand rehabilitation of patients with stroke.

STANDARD REHAB

The rehabilitative standard intervention (Occupational Therapy) consists of 15 minutes of warm-up exercises plus a 20 minutes training with at least 6 exercises selected from: wrist * ulnarization radialization * prono-supination * horizontal flexion-extension * vertical flexion-extension hand * grasping * pinching * extensors * interosseous shoulder-elbow * vertical flexion-extension * push forward

DEVICE

SONICHAND

The intervention is similar to the standard protocol (15 minutes of warm-up plus 20 minute of training) but involves the sonification of the exercises selected from the list. The Leap Motion Controller is managed with an ad-hoc developed application that is able to associate the movements with a 4 notes arpeggio or with a modulated texture. With the first mode the movement produces and modulates an harmonic progression built on the consecutive grades of the major scale played as ascending and descending arpeggio with also a volume crescendo and decrescendo. With the second mode, the movement modulates the volume and the low-pass cutoff frequency of a synthetic texture.
