STROKE RECOVERY THROUGH MUSIC Liam McGregor Reinkensmeyer Biorobotics Lab Dept. of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering
Introduction • A stroke is the loss of brain function due to a disturbance
in the blood supply to the brain • ischemia (lack of blood flow) • hemorrhage
• impairs function Ø inability to move one or more limbs on one side of the body • failure to understand or formulate speech • vision impairment of one side of the visual field.
Donnan GA, Fisher M, Macleod M, Davis SM (May 2008). "Stroke". Lancet 371 (9624): 1612–23.
Current Treatment • treatment should be
• functional • highly repetitive • promote afferent input
• Music Glove compared to conventional treatment • Music Glove compared to other music therapies • Outcome of Music Glove Therapy Friedman N, Chan V, Reinkensmeyer A, Beroukhim A, Zambrano G, Bachman M, Reinkensmeyer D: “Retraining and assessing hand movement after stroke using the MusicGlove: comparison with conventional hand therapy and isometric grip training”. Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation 2014, 11:76
Rational • Why music in therapy?
• requirements of therapy: • functional • highly repetitive • promote afferent input
• music therapy is highly engaging
• Harm vs Benefit • no perceived harm • benefit: patient motivation • benefit: patient empowerment
product: Music Glove • Current applications: Modded Guitar Hero • Project: two prongs
• sandbox mode — music environment (“keyboard”) • puzzle mode — song assembly
Results (walk-through demo) • Sandbox mode
• music environment • “keyboard”
Results (walk-through demo) • Scales
• major
• minor
• pentatonic
• whole tone
Results (walk-through demo) • Puzzle mode — song assembly
• Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Results (walk-through demo) • Puzzle mode — song assembly
• Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Results (walk-through demo) • Puzzle mode — song assembly
• Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Journey • Python on Codecademy • libraries and projects
• Python 2.7 vs Python 3.4 • PyGames • winusb • Winsound • multithreading
Future Plans
