Music processing
Maurice Ravel (1875-1937)
- suffered left-hemisphere stroke and developed
aphasia
- he could still recognize melodies, pick up tiny mistakes
in music that he heard being played, judge the tuning
of pianos (music perception)
- he could no longer recognize written music, play the
piano or compose (music production)
- right-hemisphere predominance for music processing

Music therapy in acute poststroke recovery
- bilateral network of frontal,
temporal, parietal and
subcortical areas related to
attention, semantic and
music-syntactic processing,
memory and motor
functions
- limbic and paralimbic
regions related to
emotional processing
- improvement in focused
attention
- improvement in verbal
memory
- less depressed and
confused mood

Mozart effect in clinical practice
- children in the
treatment group listened
to Mozart’s Sonata for
Two Pianos in D major
(K.448) daily before
bedtime for at least six
months
- produces a temporal
increase in spatial
reasoning scores, the so-
called “Mozart effect”
- increases weight gain
in preterm infants
- reduces the seizure
recurrence rate and
epileptiform
discharges with first
unprovoked seizures,
especially of
idiopathic etiology

- progressive neurodegenerative movement disorder
- affecting more than 10 000 people in Croatia
- postural instability, gait difficulties and impaired functional mobility that may lead to falls
and a decreased quality of life
- 60% of people older than 65 do not achieve the recommended daily amount of physical
activity
- activity levels in individulas with PD are 15% lower than those of age-matched control
- effective over the long term as it is an enjoyable exercise
- interesting and engaging
- dynamic balance and continual adjustment to environmental demands

access the supplementary
motor area via the thalamus or
the premotor cortex via
cerebellum thereby bypassing
the dysfunctional basal ganglia
improve gait speed and
movement initiation while
preforming a functional task
enhance balance, even a light
touch contact is known to
facilitate postural stability
partner's weight shifting and
indicated direction of
movement can help initiate
movement and increase or
maintain stride lenght
visual cues, such as foot to step
over, can relieve freezing of gait
rhythmic alternating shift of
center of mass from foot to foot
incorporate slow and quick
steps of varying lengths which
requires continual adjustment
