Sponsor's own description

Background: Hand functional impairments are common among stroke patients. Rehabilitation therapies increase the possibility of functional recovery. Stroke patients' engagement and effort to work toward achieving rehabilitation goals is of major significance. Neurologically, patient's engagement is being reflected in their brain activity through high levels of sustained attention while performing therapy exercises. Therefore, greater engagement might lead to better sustained attention. Nevertheless, their therapist's engagement, the type of exercise used and the quality of patient-therapist interaction play a significant role in enhancing patients' engagement. Music therapeutic interaction between stroke patient and music therapist, which involves active music making, enhances patient's engagement and improves their affected hand and finger movement. Objectives: (a) To investigate real-time mechanisms and possible association between: stroke patient's engagement level, music therapist's engagement level and the patient's real-time finger tapping movement of his affected hand. This will be assessed during a Piano Learning exercise versus a Free Improvisation exercise, while the music therapist is musically interacting with the patient on the piano during both exercises. (b) To assess patient's engagement level and real-time finger tapping movement during both exercises when compared to their scores at baseline (when playing alone). Methods: This study, conducted in Reuth Rehabilitation Hospital, Israel, will include 30 right-handed stroke patients, with right impaired hand, 1-12 months following stroke. This is a two-arm, randomized controlled trial (RCT) in which the participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. In each group participants will perform the same two exercises with the therapist, but the order of the exercises will be reversed within each group. This will be carried out in a single session. Measurement tools will include an EEG marker - The Cognitive Effort Index (CEI) used for real-time measuring patient's and music therapist's engagement's levels, and a MIDI-based assessment of the patient's finger tapping movement during the session.
