The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Harmonica-based Oral Motor and Respiratory Exercise (OMREX) Music Therapy designed to improve respiratory and oral motor functions in patients recovering from a stroke. Assessments of PEF and FEV1 for PF-100 were conducted to measure pre and post-test differences. In addition, OSME-R (Oral Speech Mechanism Screening Examination-Revised) was utilized to assess the oral (jaw, lip and tongue) motor functioning of the patients. Results show that harmonica-based music therapy resulted in statistically significant differences in the oral motor functioning of patients; findings are as follows: respiratory function PEF(F(1.18)=19.40, p<.001) and FEV1(F(1.18)=29.99, p<.001), oral motor function of the Jaw (F(1.18)=12.37, p<.01), the Lips (F(1.18)=42.76, p<.01) and the Tongue (F(1.18)=41.06, p<.001). These results indicate that a music therapy program using the harmonica improve both respiratory function and oral motor function of patients recovering from a stroke.
