what is neurologic MT?
a type of MT that uses standardized techniques to reach rehabilitation goals
what are the 3 domains of NMT?
- sensorimotor
- cognitive
- speech and language
- psychosocial
name 2 strategies of NMT
- brain-computer interfaces (BCI)
- virtual reality (VR)
name 3 NMT techniques
- rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS)
- melodic intonation theraoy (MIT)
name 4 common neurologic conditions suitable for NMT
- alzheimer’s
- ABI
- PD
- stroke
what are some methods used in NMT research?
- brain imaging
- objective data/ quantitative data
- comparing to baseline
can anyone take NMT training? who can only used NMT credentials?
- anyone can take NMT training
- only MTAs can use NMT credentials (because they’re MT’s)
what does the hebbian principle state?
that the brain is changed by music since it activates all areas of the brain
why is NMT research important?
- provides evidence for evidence-based practice (ebp)
- neurological understanding
- real-world applications
what is rhythmic entrainment?
the synchronization of motor neurons in response to a regular soound (ex; beat)
what is RAS? what does it improve?
- under sensorimotor domain
- most researched + evidence-based for sensorimotor domain
- uses entrainment
- it improves gait, cadence and velocity
what’s aphasia? what’s the best technique for this disorder?
impaired production/comprehesions of written and spoken words due to damage in language areas of the brain
- the best technique would be MIT
how does MIT work?
in MIT, people with aphasia sing a phrase first, then move to exaggerated speech and then to natural speech, which helps them to learn how to talk
what are the 3 components of the SAM aphasia program in hamilton?
1) simulate
2) activate
3) motivate
