Actual (reported)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.

Therapeutic Instrumental Music Performance is a Neurologic Music Therapy technique in which selection of instruments, spatial configurations and sequences for playing are designed to facilitate retraining of movement patterns used in everyday life. Participants will receive nine individual forty-five minute sessions of Therapeutic Instrumental Music Performance, three sessions per week.
Participants will receive nine individual sessions, three times per week: thirty minutes of Therapeutic Instrumental Music Performance, followed by fifteen minutes of sensory-enhanced motor imagery. During sensory-enhanced motor imagery, participants will listen to a metronome set to their preferred pace for previously practised movements while engaging in motor imagery.
Participants will play a variety of instruments (acoustic and electronic) to facilitate retraining of everyday functional movements.

Actual (reported)Personalized Upper Extremity Rehabilitation for Persons With Stroke
Participants will receive nine individual sessions, three times per week: thirty minutes of Therapeutic Instrumental Music Performance, followed by fifteen minutes of motor imagery. Motor imagery will involve mental practice of previous movement exercises.
Participants will listen to a metronome set to their preferred pace for previously practised movements while engaging in motor imagery.
Participants will engage in motor imagery of previously practised movements.
