Acceptability And Effectiveness Of A Novel Cycling Training On The Parkinsonian Motor And Psychiatric Symptoms In Individuals With Schizophrenia: A Pilot Study., Mehmet Uygur, Thomas J. Dinzeo
College of Science & Mathematics Departmental Research
BACKGROUND: Recent evidence suggests that high-speed, low-resistance stationary cycling training (termed as speedwork) alleviates motor symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. Similar motor symptoms commonly exist in people with schizophrenia (Sz); however, they were neglected in the previous literature.
OBJECTIVES: Our objective was to evaluate if speedwork could also be used as a strategy to improve parkinsonian motor symptoms in Sz. We aimed 1) to evaluate the adherence and acceptability of speedwork in Sz, 2) to assess test-retest reliability of the motor assessments that are novel to Sz research, 3) to evaluate the effectiveness of speedwork in improving parkinsonian motor, …

Further Understanding The Efficacy Of Music-Based Cognitive Remediation Therapy For Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury, Sruthi Nanduri
Rowan-Virtua Research Day
Objective
To further assess the efficacy of music-based interventions in patients with traumatic brain injury and its therapeutic application to cognitive, motor and sensory deficits due to neurological sequalae
Introduction
- Traumatic brain injury is a direct result of an external force disabling neurological and neurophysiological functioning
- Sensory, motor, emotional, language and cognitive functioning impaired
- Treatment is usually cognitive remediation therapy (CR)
- In correspondence, music enhances cognitive performance via neural plasticity
- Current literature shows preliminary evidence of the positive results of music in parallel with CR
