This study investigated the effect of a keyboard-based music therapy intervention on improvement in hand functionality in convalescent stroke patients. Participants included nine stroke patients admitted to a rehabilitation hospital in Gyeonggi-do. Five participants were assigned to the treatment group, and four to a wait list control group. The treatment group received 30 half-hour music therapy sessions, 5 times per week. After the completion of 15 sessions, the control group received 15 half-hour music sessions, 5 times per week. Changes in hand functionality were measured using the box and block test, grip strength test, pinch gauge test and applied finger velocity test, based on the MIDI program (Cubase). The results indicated that keyboard-based music therapy improves hand manipulation ability, dexterity, pinch power and velocity in stroke patients. These findings suggest that keyboard-based music therapy programs can be an effective intervention for improving hand functionality in convalescent stroke patients.
