“…Two studies1518 presented the Fugl-Meyer assessment score (FMA), the Wolf Motor Function Test score (WMFT) and the Wolf Motor Function Test time, with no heterogeneity found in any of the 3 evaluated measures ( P > 0.05, I 2 < 10%). The results of the FMA (SMD = 0.09, 95% CI: −0.36~0.54), the WMFT score (SMD = 0.30, 95% CI: −0.15~0.74) and the WMFT time (SMD = 0.30, 95% CI: −0.15~0.74) revealed that music-supported therapy group achieved better curative effects than the control group.…”

To conduct a meta-analysis of clinical trials that examined the effect of music-supported therapy on stroke-induced motor dysfunction, comprehensive literature searches of PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library from their inception to April 2016 were performed. A total of 10 studies (13 analyses, 358 subjects) were included; all had acceptable quality according to PEDro scale score. The baseline differences between the two groups were confirmed to be comparable. Compared with the control group, the standardized mean difference of 9-Hole Peg Test was 0.28 (−0.01, 0.57), 0.64 (0.31, 0.97) in Box and Block Test, 0.47 (0.08, 0.87) in Arm Paresis Score and 0.35 (−0.04, 0.75) in Action Research Arm Test for upper-limb motor function, 0.11 (−0.24, 0.46) in Berg Balance Scale score, 0.09 (−0.36, 0.54) in Fugl-Meyer Assessment score, 0.30 (−0.15, 0.74) in Wolf Motor Function Test, 0.30 (−0.15, 0.74) in Wolf Motor Function time, 0.65 (0.14, 1.16) in Stride length and 0.62 (0.01, 1.24) in Gait Velocity for total motor function, and 1.75 (0.94, 2.56) in Frontal Assessment Battery score for executive function. There was evidence of a positive effect of music-supported therapy, supporting its use for the treatment of stroke-induced motor dysfunction. This study was registered at PRESPERO (CRD42016037106).

“…Specifically, music‐supported therapy (MST) aims to enhance the motor deficits of the upper extremity through the training with musical instruments and provides real‐time auditory feedback about the performance, which serves as a basis for motor learning . Studies in the subacute and chronic stage of the rehabilitation process have demonstrated that stroke patients boost their motor function after the MST training . A 4‐week program of MST can improve dexterity, smoothness, and velocity of movements and induce intrahemispheric functional reorganization within the lesioned hemisphere .…”

The effect of music-supported therapy (MST) as a tool to restore hemiparesis of the upper extremity after a stroke has not been appropriately contrasted with conventional therapy. The aim of this trial was to test the effectiveness of adding MST to a standard rehabilitation program in subacute stroke patients. A randomized controlled trial was conducted in which patients were randomized to MST or conventional therapy in addition to the rehabilitation program. The intensity and duration of the interventions were equated in both groups. Before and after 4 weeks of treatment, motor and cognitive functions, mood, and quality of life (QoL) of participants were evaluated. A follow-up at 3 months was conducted to examine the retention of motor gains. Both groups significantly improved their motor function, and no differences between groups were found. The only difference between groups was observed in the language domain for QoL. Importantly, an association was encountered between the capacity to experience pleasure from music activities and the motor improvement in the MST group. MST as an add-on treatment showed no superiority to conventional therapies for motor recovery. Importantly, patient's intrinsic motivation to engage in musical activities was associated with better motor improvement.

“…the rehabilitation of mobility while listening to music, is effective in the improvement of gait and other activities which depend on the ability to walk; however, interestingly, its role in the assessment of quality of life has not been shown (de Dreu, van der Wilk, Poppe, Kwakkel, & van Wegen, 2012). The effects of MT are also used in the rehabilitation of upper limbs (Tong et al, 2015) and appropriately selected music training is used in cognitive impairments (Baker & Tamplin, 2006;Bukowska, 2012).…”
