Moving with music for XXXX rehabilitation: a sonification feasibility study.

@entity1 @entity73 @entity64 @entity2319
@entity73 are common after @entity64 , but efficacious and motivating therapies for these impairments are scarce. We present a novel musical sonification therapy especially designed to retrain gross-motor functions. Four @entity64 @entity1 were included in a clinical pre-post feasibility study and were trained with our sonification training. @entity1 ' @entity2319 and their psychological states were assessed before and after training. The four @entity1 were subdivided into two groups, with both groups receiving 9 days of musical sonification therapy (music group, MG) or a sham sonification training (control group, CG). The only difference between these training protocols was that, in the CG, no sound was played back. During the training the @entity1 initially explored the acoustic effects of their arm movements, and at the end of the training the @entity1 played simple melodies by moving their arms. The two @entity1 in the MG improved in nearly all motor function tests after the training. They also reported in the @entity64 impact scale, which assesses well-being, memory, thinking, and social participation, to be less impaired by the @entity64 . The two @entity1 in the CG did benefit less from the movement training. Taken together, musical sonification may be a promising therapy for impairments after @entity64 .
