8. Controversial
o Pejorative, refers to patients as being vegetable-
like
Remains the legal nomenclature for
now
“Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome”
o Humanity, dignity, hope
O’Kelly, et al., 2013
9. Persistent Vegetative State
• No evidence of awareness of self or
environment
• No evidence of sustained,
reproducible, purposeful, or
voluntary behavioral responses
• No evidence of language expression
or comprehension
Minimally Conscious State
• Limited awareness of self or
environment
• Limited behavioral responses
• Limited language expression and/or
comprehension
Persistent Vegetative State (PVS) and Minimally Conscious State (MCS)
• Present sleep/wake cycles
• Preservation of autonomic and hypothalamic function
• Bowel/Bladder incontinence
• Variable preservation of cranial nerve and spinal reflexes
10. Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)
JFK Coma Recovery Scale – Revised (CRS-R)
FOUR score
Post-Acute Level of Consciousness (PALOC)

11. “Prevalence of MCS in children under the age of 18 is
estimated to be between 44 and 110 per 100,000 children,
based on U.S. census data from 2000, when the overall
population of children in the U.S. was 72,293,812” (Magee
et al., 2015)
Glasgow Coma Scale
Coma Recovery Scale
Magee, et al., 2015
12. Require intact auditory system
Assume a prior mastery of language skills
Require a certain level of motor functioning ability
Lack of inter-observer reliability
Cannot distinguish “Locked-In State”
14. Is a person in PVS a “person” (in a number of senses)
(Gormally, 1993)?
Can a person in PVS have interests, or “best interests”
(McLean, 2001)?
Should scarce medical resources be allocated to people in
PVS?
Are nutrition and hydration for a person in PVS medical
operations?
Is there a difference between killing a person in PVS and
letting him or her die (Randall, 1997)?
Should people in PVS be considered to be “dead” (in a
number of senses)?
15. Ethics and the Rehabilitation of Persons with
Disorders of Consciousness
o “Is rehabilitation well-intentioned hand-holding while
natural recovery takes place?”
o Allocation of healthcare dollars
Ethics of Music Therapy and Disorders of
Consciousness
o Palliative Care is humanistic and holistic
o Existential challenges
• Interpersonal and intrapersonal
17. “In the tradition of St. Elizabeth Seton, we
cherish all children and believe in the
healing power of loving relationships. As
a center of pediatric rehabilitative and
palliative care, we are inspired by her
legacy as we join with families in the
holistic care of their children.”
18. Traumatic Brain Injury
Non-Traumatic Brain
Injury
Non-Accidental
Traumatic Brain Injury

neurometabolic disorders

Organization
Emotional response
20. “Music is not just what it is, but is that which it means to the
people.” – Simon Rattle, 2004
21. Music Therapy Assessment Tool for Awareness of Disorders
Of Consciousness
Principle Subscale: motor, communication, arousal, visual,
and auditory domains
o Good interrater reliability (mean = 0.83, SD = 0.11), good test–
retest reliability (mean = 0.82, SD = 0.05), with good internal
consistency (α = 0.76)
o Performance against another validated sensory assessment as an
external reference standard found excellent agreement (100%) for
diagnostic outcomes of awareness states
Magee et al., 2015
22.
23. Compared MATADOC to 3 external reference
standards
Diagnostic outcomes were in agreement in 3 cases
4th case provided a diagnosis of a higher
awareness state than the external reference
standards
MATADOC items provided similar ratings for
responsiveness with 3 exceptions
Magee et al., 2015
24. MATADOC appears to have clinical utility for use with pediatric PDOC.
MATADOC provides a useful tool for ongoing evaluation of progress for
children with PDOC
It may provide a sensitive measure of responsiveness to sensory
stimuli; however, further testing is required to validate it for pediatric
PDOC.
Early indications suggest that it may contribute to differential diagnosis
for children with PDOC.
Both the measure and the protocol need refinement to make it relevant
for pediatric PDOC.
Magee et al., 2015
25. Increase arousal without overstimulation
Increase tolerance of sensory input without stress
behaviors
Promote sustained, reproducible, purposeful, or voluntary
responses to sound or vibroacoustic stimuli
Provide context for human connection through sound,
vibration, and touch
26. ATVV Sequence (Burns et al., 1994)
o Developed for premature infants
o Auditory (infant-directed talk), tactile (massage), vestibular (rocking);
visual throughout (eye contact)
o Enables responsiveness while avoiding overstimulation
Purposeful sequence of stimuli presentation:
o Auditory
o Tactile
o Vestibular
o Visual
Music and Multimodal Stimulation – adaptation of
Auditory/Tactile/Vestibular/Visual (Standley, 1998; 2010)
27. Client-directed
o Assess for signs of
engagement or over-
stimulation
Sequence stimuli
o auditory, vibroacoustic,
vestibular or kinesthetic,
visual
• Progressively
increasing complexity
28. Auditory
o Voice alone (humming) or
o Drone (e.g., shruti box)
o Layer (add voice or drone)
Vibroacoustic
o Soundwave Chair or bass
resonator bar
Kinesthetic
o Passive range of motion
(PT)
Visual
o Eye contact or mirror
29. Localized vibroacoustic stimulation to specific parts of body
o Bass resonator bar with soft mallet
Purpose
o Direct attention to different parts of body
o Promote awareness of self
o Encourage clear, purposeful responses to vocal and verbal cues
Can incorporate principles of entrainment
30. Implications for co-
treatment
o Physical therapy
• Decrease in muscle tone
• Increase range of motion
• Promote self-initiated
movement
• Improved breath control
31. Physical Therapy & Occupational
Therapy
o Therapy Ball
• Vestibular input increased
arousal
o Soundwave Chair
• PROM
• Sitting
• Proprioception
Speech Therapy
o The voice
• Purposeful vocalization
• Reciprocal vocalization
o Passy-Muir Valve (PMV)
• Vocalization
• Decreased anxiety Tolerance
of PMV
32.
33. MKT: live music combined with physical stimulation for short,
intensive bursts
o Increased arousal
o Responsiveness to commands
o Purposeful, functional movement and communication

therapy in a persistent vegetative state after severe brain damage. Brain Injury, 18(5), 509-515.

o Subsequent craniectomy and cranioplasty; facial and femur
fractures; spasticity; seizures; s/p G-tube placement, chronic lung
disease, asthma, cortical blindness, L cranial nerve palsy
o Spanish-speaking immigrant parents
o 3 younger siblings

36. Music therapy goals:
o Increase tolerance for multi-modal input
o Increase awareness of self and environment
o Family/sibling bonding
o Achieve highest quality of life
Music therapy interventions:
o Co-treatment with physical therapy on Soundwave Chair
o Co-treatment with speech therapist, utilizing Passy-Muir speaking
valve
o Songwriting with siblings and parents
o Improvisation-based individual music therapy techniques
37. Non-Accidental traumatic brain injury at age 2.5 years
o skull fracture; subdural hematoma; cerebral infarcts; autonomic
dysfunction; seizure d/o; spasticity; GERD; dysphagia; s/p g-tube
placement

Family-Centered Therapy
o Recordings of Love with father and brother
Individual music therapy
38.
39. The needs of the pediatric brain injury patient vary from those of
adults due to difference in developmental levels/nature of injury.
Co-treatment with rehabilitation therapists provides an important
context for an interdisciplinary team approach.
Within a therapeutic relationship, music therapy supports healing
for the family of a pediatric DOC patient within a humanistic,
holistic treatment model.
There is a need for further research related to music therapy
assessment and treatment planning for pediatric DOC patients.
o MATADOC may become a validated assessment tool for pediatric DOC
patients
