Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if group Music Therapy and Physical Therapy will help in the recovery from stroke. It is hoped that music and physical therapy in a group setting will help physical, mental, and social well-being.


Description:

The purpose of the study is to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of an "enriched," combined music therapy/physical therapy (MT/PT) rehabilitation intervention that addresses physical, psychological, and social well-being simultaneously in a group setting to enhance post-stroke recovery. The intervention will be implemented through collaboration between the Nordoff-Robbins Center for Music Therapy at NYU Steinhardt and the Motor Recovery Laboratory at the Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, NYU Medical Center.
