Music is an auditory stimulus of a complex nature, as many perceptive processes develop simultaneously in various areas of the brain. The same brain areas are involved in processing music and movement rhythms, which is why music can be used in the rehabilitation of movement disorders. There is growing evidence that music-assisted treadmill training can be effective in treating Parkinson's disease (PD) gait disorders, as auditory cueing with treadmill training may specifically work on those motor areas, including the cerebellum, that are not affected by the disease. Thus, music-therapy, when properly applied, could pave the way for better management of motor symptoms in PD.
音乐是一种具有复杂性质的听觉刺激,因为许多感知过程在大脑的不同区域同时发展。处理音乐和运动节奏涉及相同的脑区,这就是音乐可用于运动障碍康复的原因。越来越多的证据表明,音乐辅助跑步机训练对治疗帕金森病(PD)步态障碍可能有效,因为跑步机训练的听觉提示可能特别作用于那些未受该疾病影响的运动区域,包括小脑。因此,音乐疗法若应用得当,可为更好地管理帕金森病的运动症状铺平道路。
