Using Musical Instruments to Improve Motor Skill Recovery Following a Stroke

Using Musical Instruments to Improve Motor Skill Recovery Following a Stroke, by S. Schneider, P.W. Schonle, E. Altermuller, and T.F. Munte.

in 20 stroke patients. Here, we show how this innovative therapeutic strategy is
an effective approach for the motor skill neurorehabilitation of stroke patients.
