Outline of Final Research Achievements

The Drumming Communication Program could be carried out for three months at a special nursing home for the elderly requiring high nursing care level. Participants with dementia have difficulty in imitating commands and gestures necessary for exercise therapy and programs. However, they were able to exercise with drums by using their rhythm response function. The intervention group showed improvement in their cognitive functions in both the MMSE and FAB scores. As for motor functions, the intervention group showed improvement in their shoulder and wrist flexion. The causal relationship between the declines in the cognitive and physical functions is bi-directional. Exercise intervention by drums not only affected motor functions but also cognitive functions as well.
We propose a new rehabilitation program based on group drumming to improve cognitive and motor functions, for patients with dementia and other debilitating diseases who have rhythm response capability.
