Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairments and Responsiveness to Motor Rehabilitation: A Review
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThis review discusses the prevalence of cognitive deficits following stroke and their impact on responsiveness to therapeutic intervention within a motor learning context.Recent FindingsClinical and experimental studies have established that post-stroke cognitive and motor deficits may impede ambulation, augment fall risk, and influence the efficacy of interventions. Recent research suggests the presence of cognitive deficits may play a larger role in motor recovery than previously understood.SummaryConsidering that cognitive impairments affect motor relearning, post-stroke motor rehabilitation the...

Neurologic Music Therapy in Stroke Rehabilitation
Abstract Based on insights from brain research in music, neurologic music therapy (NMT) has been established as a new model for music in therapy and medicine. Standardized clinical interventions are based on clusters of research evidence and established learning principles in motor, speech/language, and cognitive training. The research support for NMT in stroke rehabilitation has been growing rapidly over the past 20 years. This paper will review research data and clinical applications for neurorehabilitation in the speech/language, cognitive and sensorimotor domains.
