Can Specialised Electronic Musical Instruments Aid Stroke Rehabilitation?

Nothing objective seemed to be measured in this research, what a waste.

Stroke patients often have limited access to rehabilitation after discharge from hospital leaving them
to self-regulate their recovery. Previous research has indicated that several musical approaches can be
used effectively in stroke rehabilitation. Stroke patients (n = 43), between 6 months and 19 years
post-stroke, took part in specially created workshops playing music, both in groups and individually,
using a number of digital musical interfaces. Feedback forms were completed by all participants,
which helped to develop the prototypes and gain insights into the potential benefits of music making
for rehabilitation. 93% of participants stated they thought that the music workshops were potentially 
beneficial for their rehabilitation. The research project contributes to the field of HCI by exploring
the role of computer based systems in stroke rehabilitation.
