Libraries, 1998) Scappaticci, Cheryl, author; Davis, William B. (William Barron), advisor; Thaut, Michael H., committee member; Metz, Paul Wesley, committee member; Tucker, Alan, committee memberA comprehensive literature review and analysis was conducted on the use of music for physical rehabilitation from 1987-1996. An earlier literature review and analysis of music for physical rehabilitation was published by Staum (1988), which covered the literature from 1950 -1986. The purpose of the current study was to provide music therapists with an updated and comprehensive resource to aid them in choosing effective treatment strategies for clients in need of physical rehabilitation. Pertinent music therapy sources, such as the Journal of Music Therapy, and pertinent non-music sources, specifically electronic bibliographic databases such as Medline, were consulted. Relevant sources were discussed in two chapters; Chapter 4 - An Overview of the Use of Music in the Treatment of Physical Rehabilitation, and Chapter 5- Clinical Implications for the Use of Music in Physical Rehabilitation . Tables containing frequency data supplement the discussion of the findings on treatment modalities, research settings, clinical population, musical applications, and literature sources. An overview of the methodology of all experimental and single-subject studies is provided in Table 8.Item Open Access The effect of tempo and register modulation on sustained and selective auditory attention in a musical target detection task(Colorado State University. Libraries, 1998) Stevens, Christine K., author; Thaut, Michael H., advisor; Davis, William B., committee member; Baez, Victor A., committee memberThis study investigated performance on a musical target detection task under four conditions in which the tempo was either fast (120 bpm) or slow (80 bpm), and the target was either in the upper register or lower register (1 octave lower). A target detection task was utilized to examine sustained and selective auditory attention. Performance measures included number of correct targets detected, number of commission errors, and response time in milliseconds. Jones' (1992) theory of rhythmic attending predicts that an entrainment effect occurs at the referent level (musical measure) of attending to the musical stimulus. Sloboda's (1985) hypothesis of attention and music predicts that performance in the upper register conditions should be superior to the lower register conditions. These predictions were examined through a target detection task, modeled upon similar visual attention studies. The author composed music which embedded a three note target regularly occurring at an interpresentation interval (IPI) of four measures. The target occurred a total of twenty four times in each condition. Nineteen non-musician subjects from the Social Work undergraduate classes participated in the experiment. All subjects heard the four conditions with the tempo conditions counter-balanced. The higher register conditions always preceded the lower register conditions due to anticipated higher level of difficulty for lower register or more hidden target conditions. Results indicated no significant effects of tempo or register when performance was analyzed by condition, an indication of selective attention. The use of time segmentation of performance data was then analyzed to examined sustained attention. Again, there was no significant effect of tempo and register modulation upon performance over time. This result indicates that subjects were able to sustain their attention. Indeed, a visual analysis of the results of target accuracy revealed that subjects sustained a generally high level of performance (68%) across all conditions. Responses to an open-ended question regarding what strategy subjects used were analyzed qualitatively. An ANOV A demonstrated that strategy did demonstrate a significant effect on response time (p = .049). A post-hoc analysis indicated that subjects who used the anticipation/timing strategy were significantly faster in their responses than those who used the repetition strategy (p = .016). These results support the primacy of timing within auditory attentional processing (Marks and Crowder, 1997, Jones, 1992). Furthermore, a cognitive timing mechanism is discussed. Music facilitated attending and attentional distraction models in clinical music therapy are discussed.Item Open Access Rhythmic cueing effects on gait parameters of children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy: an immediate entrainment study(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2009) Jensen, Laura Clarice, author; Davis, William B., advisor; LaGasse, Blythe, advisor; Tracy, Brian L., committee memberThis study was designed to examine whether children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy can synchronize (entrain) their gait patterns with an external auditory rhythmic stimulus, and whether this rhythmic stimulus would encourage improvement in stride symmetry and knee extension at foot contact during the gait cycle. Five participants completed an immediate entrainment protocol that included a self-selected normal speed walk (SS), a self-selected normal speed walk matched with music of the same cadence (SSM), a fast walk (F), and a fast walk matched with music of the same cadence (FM). Results indicated that the participants synchronized their gait patterns with the rhythmic music stimulus, but no significant results were observed for stride symmetry or knee extension measures between no-music and music conditions. The ability to entrain to a rhythmic stimulus suggests that gait training facilitated by rhythmic cueing may be an appropriate gait habilitation technique for this population, but that research with a larger number of participants is necessary before definite conclusions in this area can be drawn.Item Open Access Matthew Scott & Joseph Hills: combined composition recital(Colorado State University.
