ABSTRACT:
Stroke, a main cause of disability around the world with it's affecting not only on physical but also cognitive and emotional health. Therefore, music therapy has become more popular traditional treatments to stroke rehabilitation due to its target multiple aspects of healing. As the review examines how Music-Supported Therapy (MST) can make stroke recovery, which by improving their motor function, mood, and overall health status. Besides, some research also shown that music therapy can help stroke survivors reactivate their motor skills, enhance cognitive function, and support their emotional recovery. For instance, it can improve their ability to walk or stand, training their hand strength, and improving overall quality of life. MST has also been found to help reduce the feelings of depression and anxiety of the survivors who are facing after a stroke. MST promotes neuroplasticity in stroke patients, improving emotional well-being, motor, and mental abilities. It boosts mood and overall wellness. Musical activities provide motivation and spirits during rehabilitation. MST is a specialized treatment for stroke recovery, stimulating neurons and activating brain networks, contributing significantly to recovery. Individual who recovering from stroke can have considerable improvements in their emotional state, physical cognitive function, and neuroplasticity with the medically proven Therapeutic Techniques (MST). This therapy is truly effective for stroke sufferers, who frequently struggle in these cases. MST's regimented nature gives them a sense of control and accomplishment, which may boost their morale and drive during their rehabilitation period. It is a promising therapeutic since its capacity to link various brain networks and stimulate neuroplasticity as well. Furthermore, incorporating MST into stroke rehabilitation programs also increase patients' happiness, quality of life, and most important is easing reintegration into society and boosting long-term recovery outcomes.
