Abstract

Neurological impairment produces cognitive, communicational, physical, and social deficits. Music has the power to help stroke patients to regain speech and overcome other deficits. Rhythm and melody help to rehabilitate memory, muscles, breathing, etc. This article introduces how music therapy approaches stroke patients and helps them. It focuses particularly on speech; however, music affects not only one part of the body but the whole body. In cases in which music therapy is used, we can see how music helps with stroke patients and how to achieve these goals.
