program is to connect musical cuing and sensory feedback to restore, retrain and refine movements until it “clicks”.
program is to connect musical cuing and sensory feedback to restore, retrain and refine movements until it “clicks”.
Numerous studies highlight the benefits of using musical cueing for movement, yet the use of popular songs is not the best way to cue movement and live specialized music is not always an option for clinicians.
Sarah Thompson, a board-certified music therapist, researcher and speaker created music tracks to facilitate specialized exercises to be used with the Balance Matters system, created by Erica DeMarch, physical therapist and inventor of the Balance Matters System.
The tracks have specific pitch, harmony, meter, force, and rhythmic cues to help clients “get into a groove” and maximize their effort. Using the tracks allow clients to focus on getting an efficient and accurate movement for the duration of the music, rather than counting repetitions. The speed of the songs can be individualized to make it easier for clients to follow and stay motivated.
This version includes presentations that are designed for clinicians to use with their clients. If clients want to use it at home they can purchase the home version.
