Growing research shows music therapy can be helpful for adults and children with cognitive disorders.
Adults and children with cognitive disorders may have trouble walking – but neurologic music therapy can be a helpful part of their treatment plan, according to growing research.
“There's something very fundamental and substantial happening in the brain when we listen to music, especially when we try to use this for improving mobility,” said Michael Thaut, a University of Toronto professor of music and rehabilitation science who directs the Music and Health Science Research Center. “Our natural response to music is to move.
The patient walks in synchronicity to the beat with a goal to maintain the speed and rhythm"without the auditory stimulus," Thaut explained. In people with movement disorders like Parkinson's, the rhythmic auditory stimulation strategy has"been shown to be extremely effective in adults, very rapidly," said neurorehabilitation physician Dr. Gregory O'Shanick, medical director emeritus at the Brain Injury Association. That includes those with motor difficulties such as stride length, stability and arm swing, he said.

Growing search for Texas gunman who killed 5 enters 3rd dayThe search in Texas for a gunman who fatally shot five neighbors with an AR-style rifle has entered a third day after authorities over the weekend acknowledged they had little sense of the killer’s whereabouts despite a widening dragnet near Houston. The suspect, 38-year-old Francisco Oropeza, has been at large since the shooting just before midnight Friday in the rural town of Cleveland. By Sunday evening, authorities said more than 250 officers from multiple jurisdictions have joined the manhunt and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott put up $50,000 in reward money for tips leading to Oropeza’s capture. Police recovered the AR-15-style rifle that they said Oropeza used in the shootings. Authorities were not sure if he was carrying another weapon.
