[Purpose] A scalp massage was conducted on female office workers divided into a 15 minute
group and 25 minute group and its effect on stress hormone, blood pressure and heart rate
was analyzed in order to provide a theoretical rationale to apply scalp massage as stress
therapy. [Subjects and Methods] A scalp massage was applied to 34 female office workers
twice a week for a total of 10 weeks; the subjects were classified into 15 min., 25 min.
and control groups, and their stress hormone levels, blood pressure and heart rate were
evaluated. [Results] Significant differences in norepinephrine, cortisol and blood
pressure (SBP & DBP) were found in terms of interaction by time interval and between
groups. [Conclusion] As a result of applying scalp massage to female office workers for 15
and 25 minutes, positive effects were observed on stress hormone, blood pressure and heart
rate. Therefore, scalp massage can be used for stress control with no spatial or time
limit.
Cette étude est consacrée à l’élaboration d’approches expérimentales mettant en place des expériences musicales interactives en relation avec une approche somatique. Nous présenterons les démarches suivantes : 1) Le développement des méthodes de mesure et de visualisation de données numériques afin de favoriser le contrôle du mouvement en proposant les outils logiciels (MaxMSP) ; 2) La réalisation de plusieurs prototypes d’expérimentation à l’aide de l’interface wii balance board et l’analyse des résultats ; 3) La conceptualisation et la mise en œuvre de la musicalisation du mouvement corporel. En présentant les fruits de cette recherche, nous souhaitons ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives pour la création en musique interactive.
