Abstract
For the purpose of an assessment of motor, speech and autonomic functions’ recovery dynamics on a background of music therapy a total of 45 patients with the middle cerebral artery ischemic stroke were examined. The patients were randomized into three groups of 15 people. With patients of the first and the second groups on the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th days of the rehabilitation period the special set of exercises with music and without that respectively was fulfilled. The third group was control. Dynamics of patients’ state was estimated by NIHSS, Rivermid mobility index, the Action Research Arm Test and the modified scale for speech evaluation on the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th and 10th days of disease. Since 6th day of stroke, a research of cardiorespiratory synchronization was conducted. Statistically significant efficiency of music therapy in all investigated measures was shown.
