Audio-Spinal Facilitation Motor Responses to Music - (i.e. tapping your foot, fingers, etc.) Audio-Spinal Facilitation - Auditory stimuli excite neurons in the spinal cord which in turn ready or prime muscles for movement. Occurs at a pre- cognitive level. The more intense the stimulus, the greater the neuronal/muscular response. (Paltsev Elner, 1967; Rossignol Melvill-Jones, 1976, etc.) Click Here for example of Anatomy of Movement Example Physiological Entrainment Physiological Entrainment - Occurs when the frequency of activity of one system determines the frequency of activity in another system. Internal oscillator (internal time-keeper) entrains to a more powerful external oscillator (metronome or music). (Haas Distenfeld, 1986; Miller et al., 1996). Neurologic Music TherapyRhythmic Auditory Stimulation RAS - (Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation) RAS is a specific technique to facilitate rehabilitation of movements that are intrinsically biologically rhythmical. One of the most important of these rhythmical movements is gait. Therefore, the most prominent application of RAS is to gait disorders, e.g. in stroke patients, Parkinson’s patients, and traumatically brain injured patients. Neurologic Music TherapyTherapeutic Instrumental Music Performance TIMP - (Therapeutic Instrumental Music Performance) TIMP uses the playing of musical instruments to exercise and simulate functional movement patterns. Appropriate selection of musical instruments and therapeutically meaningful exercises emphasize range of motion, endurance, strength, functional hand movement/finger dexterity, limb coordination, etc. Neurologic Music TherapyPatterned Sensory Enhancement PSE - (Patterned Sensory Enhancement) PSE uses rhythmic, melodic, harmonic and dynamic aspects of music to provide temporal, spatial, and force cues for movements which reflect functional exercises and activities of dail
