The use of music therapy in pain clinics

Journal/Book: Music Therapy Perspectives. 1988; 4: 24-28.

Abstract: Asserts that to understand the contribution musical materials can make to facilitate motor learning processes, the psychological and physical properties of musically organized acoustic stimuli should be viewed within the framework of functional and neural mechanisms for motor behavior. A model of rhythmic auditory-motor integration is discussed, and the following factors are described: motor rhythm and external rhythm, neurophysiological aspects, automatization of movement patterns, temporal predictability and response anticipation, muscular fatigue and recovery time, auditory feedback and proprioceptive control, and rhythmic speech as internal movement control. Clinical applications are also described, including gait rehabilitation, rhythmical intention, and rhythmic initiation.
