THE BENEFITS OF MUSIC THERAPY IN STROKE REHABILITATION: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
Journal Title: Multidisciplinarni Pristupi u Edukaciji i Rehabilitaciji - Year 2024, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Stroke, a leading cause of disability and death, results in impairments affecting daily activities and quality of life. Traditional rehabilitation often includes physical, occupational, and speech therapies. However, complementary therapies such as music therapy are gaining attention for their additional benefits. This systematic literature review investigates the effects of music therapy on motor recovery, cognitive rehabilitation, and emotional well-being in stroke survivors. The review includes randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and case studies sourced from databases like PubMed and ResearchGate. Findings show that Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS) significantly improves motor functions, particularly gait and upper limb movements, by improving motor control and coordination and promoting neuroplasticity. Also, music therapy benefits cognitive functions such as memory and attention, and improves emotional well-being by reducing anxiety and depression. Implementing RAS in rehabilitation requires customization to individual patient needs, and it can be integrated into home-based programs for continuous improvement. Beyond physical benefits, music therapy supports cognitive and emotional recovery, offering a holistic approach to stroke rehabilitation. Integrating music therapy into rehabilitation programs can significantly improve recovery and quality of life for stroke survivors.
