Time: Activity:
Guitar pattern for leg lift, extension and drum playing down beat for
consistent heel strike from beginning through end of song.
2:08 At 2:08 time mark wind instruments added to provide sensory cue to
smooth out movement and cue UE upward postural alignment.
3:30 Medium enhancement of forward/progressive sensation to music for
endurance boost.
4:15 Musical cue for UE and head floating upward, as well as cue for home
stretch to end.
5:09 Music builds stronger layers of instruments such as bass line for
enhanced sense of forward movement, with further smoothing out of
movements and overall increase of quality of movement.
0:00 - Metronome begins for 15 seconds alone for heel strike. Guitar pattern
0:26 again, for let lift and extension. Acoustic quality of a march to enhance
upward and longer stride.
2:30 Mark bass line with texture of instrumentation with accent and texture
to facilitate rotation.
3:40 Simple lighter texture quality to music to relax, support endurance.
4:30 Bass line to support longer stride cue.
4:53 Music adds eighth notes towards end to support progressive feel at
end of song when fatigue can become issue.
0:00 - Stronger layering of down beat for heel strike and initiation of
0:26 movement. Use bass line at 36 bpm to open and elongate stride them
bring them back to drum/metronome at normal 72 bpm.
0:53 - Use music cues to support increased postural alignment.
1:05
1:20 Sensory patterns to support weight shift and UE Rotation. 4:12 Head
floating, body well balance over mid foot.
0:00 - Bass again at 45 bpm to open stride and with piano/bass combination
0:21 to provide L/R weight shift cues. Can exaggerate dystonia for patients
with strong one side dystonia (i.e., exaggerate a curled arm or upward
leg cur use other Animals Everywhere tempo track or Street Walking
either tempo range if this happens).
1:08 Music cues smoothing quality to movement.
3:20 Increased texturing of instruments to better integrate postural
alignment and smoother quality in gait.
