Music-based intervention drives paretic limb acceleration into intentional movement frequencies in chronic stroke rehabilitation.

ABSTRACT: This study presented a novel kinematic assessment of paretic limb function "online" during the actual therapeutic exercisers rooted within the acceleration domain. Twenty-eight patients at chronic stroke stages participated in an auditory-motor intervention mapping reaching movements of the paretic arm unto surfaces of large digital musical instruments and sound tablets that provided rhythmic entrainment cues and augmented auditory feedback. Patients also wore a tri-axial accelerometer on the paretic limb during the nine-session intervention. The resulting acceleration profiles were extracted and quantified within the frequency domain. Measures of peak power and peak width were leveraged to estimate volitional control and temporal consistency of paretic limb movements, respectively. Clinic
