The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of accompaniment music on patient compliance and performance during a 2-week in-home upper extremity (UE) music-based training (MBT) in stroke survivors. We recruited 5 stroke survivors and observed that stroke participants had greater use of the MBT app for rehab exercises under the music mode than the non-music mode. Participants’ keynote press accuracy was also more precise when they could hear the accompaniment music. These findings suggest that accompaniment music may play an important role in affecting not only participants’ engagement but also their performance. Data collection will be continued to demonstrate a robust result and explore the potential explanations for the observed differences.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the importance of accompaniment music on rehabilitation compliance of in-home music-based training.
Describe the current design and the use of music-based training of stroke patients at home.
