Summary: | : Stroke can result in disabling impairments, affecting functional mobility, balance, and gait. Individualized in-patient rehabilitation interventions improve balance and gait in patients with stroke. Rhythmic pairing of personally-selected music with rehabilitation interventions can be a practical form of personalized therapy that could improve functional outcomes.
: To describe an in-patient rehabilitation intervention that rhythmically paired patient-selected music with rehabilitative interventions for a patient with acute stroke.
: The patient was a 48-year old male who sustained a right thalamic hemorrhagic stroke eight days prior to admittance to the in-patient rehabilitation facility. The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) (Balance), Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment-Gait portion (POMA-G) (Gait), and Functional Independence MeasureĀ® (FIM) Motor were completed on Day 1, Day 4, and Day 16 (Discharge) during the patient's in-patient rehabilitation stay.
: From intake to discharge, balance, gait and functional mobility significantly increased by 35, 9, and 31 points, respectively. Likewise, the patient reported positive attitudes toward the novel intervention.
: Incorporating patient-selected music with in-patient physical rehabilitation may be a feasible intervention for patients with acute stroke. Further research with an adequate sample size that randomly assigns patients to music and control conditions is necessary to confirm the promising findings from this case report. |
