Reflecting on what an honour and privilege it was to be invited to speak at this year’s ! 📣 It was so special connecting with practitioners, researchers, and people living with Huntington Disease about Neurologic Music Therapy®.

Thank you all for your openness and willingness to learn, and for sharing the stigmas and barriers that still exist when accessing treatment with Huntington Disease.

A note to healthcare professionals: EVERYONE is worthy and deserving of care no matter their prognosis. Period.

I hope we all can work together to improve the quality of life for people living with Huntington Disease — one note at a time! 🧠🎶

October is Occupational Therapy Month! ➡️ Swipe through to learn how Neurologic Music Therapists and Occupational Therapists can work together 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽 to support clients.

Occupational Therapists (OT) help individuals do the things that are important to them, from self-care to productivity to leisure activities. OTs achieve this by helping individuals learn new ways of doing things, regaining and/or developing new skills, using materials and equipment that makes life easier or adapting their environment to fit their needs. Here are some examples of cotreats:

✨ Providing vestibular and proprioceptive input 🌀🤲🏻 in rhythm 🎶 for paediatric clients working on sensory coordination and integration

✨ Practicing attention exercise in music, learning musical mnemonics and singing familiar songs to support brain injury clients with thinking 🤔, remembering 💭 and communicating 🗣️

✨ Playing instruments 🥁 in specific spatial configurations ↔️↕️ to improve the motor function 💪🏻 necessary for ADLs in clients post-injury or diagnosis, such as MS or PD

✨ Engaging in preferred activities through music creation 🎼 and relaxation 🎧 to support mental health challenges ❤️

It’s Respiratory Therapy Week! ➡️ Swipe through to learn how Neurologic Music Therapists and Respiratory Therapists can work together 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽 to support patients.

Respiratory Therapy (RT) is a health profession that helps diagnose, treat, and manage conditions that affect your lungs 🫁 to restore or maintain lung and breathing function. Here are some ways we cotreat:

✨ Supporting spinal cord injury patients with breath coordination ↔️ and capacity 📈 through assisted harmonica and melodica playing

✨ Helping patients with respiratory function through music 🎶 cued breathing and singing 🗣️ preferred music to increase 📈 vocal volume

✨ Supporting brain injury patients coming off mechanical ventilation with rhythmic entrainment 🕛 through preferred music

A technique that helps us navigate: Musical Neglect Training (MNT®)!

This technique involves structured active musical instrument 🎹 playing to focus attention on a neglected or inattentively viewed visual field. It’s primary used with individuals who have a spatial neglect or inattention post-stroke.

Did you know active performance on a musical instrument encourages spatial exploration? ➡️👀 This is enhanced when musical instruments 🎶 are placed appropriate spatial configurations and structured in time, rhythm, and tempo.

Music has a profound impact on the brain! ➡️ Swipe through to learn how Neurologic Music Therapy can support 🫱🏻‍🫲🏽 individuals with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

A TBI is a brain injury 🧠 caused by an outside force, such as when an object pierces the skull or a strong force moves the brain within the skull. The leading causes of TBI are falls, blunt trauma accidents, vehicle-related injuries, assault and violence, and explosions.

Severe symptoms can include motor deficits, such as ataxia and spasticity, difficulty with cognitive functions, and speech impairments, such as slurred speech.

So, how can NMT help?

Neurologic Music Therapists (NMTs) use rhythmic entrainment ⏱️ to improve the control of walking and functional movement patterns. Playing instruments in therapeutic spatial configurations ↕️↔️ can help normalize fine and gross movement patterns to support ADLs! 💪🏻

Did you know oral motor control 👄 also shows the same sensitivity to rhythmic entrainment?! This means speaking in rhythm can support clear communication ❤️‍🩹 by improving the rate and pacing of speech.

Using the elements of music, NMTs can improve attention, memory, and executive functions. Cognitive rehabilitation 💭 is critical for addressing problems that arise in daily life, relationships, work, and community!

A technique that gets us moving: Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS®)!

This technique involves walking 🚶🏻‍♀️ to auditory rhythm 🎶 to restore a safe and functional gait pattern. It’s frequently used with stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury and neurodegenerative disorders.

Walking is naturally rhythmical! When we hear👂🏻a beat, it presents an optimization challenge to our brain. How can I get from point A to point B?📍

Rhythmic entrainment occurs when our auditory neurons fire in time 💥 with our motor neurons at the spinal cord level, even in individuals with neurologic impairment.

Did I mention it’s BEST PRACTICE in lower limb gait training by Heart and Stroke? 😏
