Abstract
Abstract Road traffic accidents frequently result in head injuries, chest injuries or serious cervical spinal cord injuries. Lifesaving assistance such as endotracheal intubation is commonly used. Although vocal cord paralysis during orotracheal intubation is uncommon, it can have catastrophic implications. Very little evidence is available on rehabilitation interventions that combine music therapy, technology devices and audio-visual (AV) aids. In patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and cervical spinal cord injury who have vocal cord paralysis, the use of music therapy technology devices and AV aids for rehabilitation needs to be thoroughly tested with goal-oriented, targeted strategies intended to achieve a particular function or skill set. Using technology devices and AV aids help with cognition and communication. Music therapy might be regarded as just as beneficial as speech therapy in enhancing cognitive function. We report a case of a 4-year-old female child with TBI with cervical cord contusion with bilateral vocal cord paralysis successfully rehabilitation along with the incorporation of music therapy, technology devices and AV aids in the rehabilitation programme.
