dc.description.abstractLoss of motor capabilities following a stroke can have a significant effect on a stroke survivor's quality of life, and the lack of conclusively effective therapeutic interventions often make it difficult to determine an effective treatment plan. Several empirical studies have found Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) successful in producing more efficient muscular movements post-stroke (Malcolm, Massie, & Thaut, 2009; Thaut, Schleiffers, & Davis, 1991; Thaut, Kenyon, Hurt, McIntosh, & Hoemberg, 2002; Thaut et al., 2007; Yoo, 2009). The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the effect Patterned Sensory Enhancement (PSE), an NMT technique, had on movement in hemiparetic upper limbs of stroke survivors. Three subjects participated in two counterbalanced experimental trials in which a repetitive reaching movement was evaluated with (1) auditory rhythmic cueing and (2) with combined temporal, force and spatial auditory cueing (PSE). Target contact accuracy and mid-arc variability were statistically analyzed between the three trials (un-cued control, rhythm only, and PSE). Repeated measures ANOVA revealed a decrease in mid-arc variability in the PSE trial, but not at a statistically significant level. No further statistically significant results were discovered in this pilot study, however, more conclusive results may be observed in future studies adhering to the suggested revisions.
