The use of sound and music in the rehabilitation context is now supported by a lot scientific evidence. reiteration tasks-oriented movements to functional recovery, typical training, can be effectively adequate sonorous-music stimuli. This integration aims at introducing an audio-motor feedback, describing modulating movement. In addition, stimuli induce potential plastic changes stimulates brain networks underlying mechanisms reward motivation, improving patient's involvement compliance...
The use of idiofonic ethnical istruments known as "Tibetan Singing Bowls", characterized by a fascinating sound and deep vibration, have been for millennials part culture including music, rythuals, theory Chakra oriental Ayurvedical medicine. practice utilization the Bowls is related to Sound Therapy rather than Music Therapy, since therapeutic effects appears be consequence vibrations Bowls, not from their music.

This randomized controlled study assessed the efficacy of active music therapy (AMT) on anxiety, depression, and quality life in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Communication relationship during AMT treatment were also evaluated. Thirty patients assigned randomly to experimental [AMT plus standard care (SC)] or control (SC) groups. consisted 12 sessions (three times a week), whereas SC was based physical speech rehabilitation sessions, occupational therapy, psychological support. ALS...
Abstract After a stroke event, most survivors suffer from arm paresis, poor motor control and other disabilities that make activities of daily living difficult, severely affecting quality life personal independence.

Music influences many physiological parameters, including some cardiovascular (CV) control indices. The complexity and heterogeneity of musical stimuli, the integrated response within brain limited availability quantitative methods for non-invasive assessment autonomic function are main reasons scarcity studies about impact music on CV control. This study aims to investigate effects listening algorithmic regulation healthy subjects by means spectral analysis heart period, approximated as...
