Music
Samples from compositions designed for use in Biodex GT3 Systems
Animals Everywhere (gentle forward-pulling sensory experience throughout piece) :
BPM: Time: Activity:
45 BPM: 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.
57 BPM: 0:00 -
0:26 Metronome begins for 15 seconds alone for heel strike. Guitar pattern
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.
72/36 BPM: 0:00 -
0:26 Stronger layering of down beat for heel strike and initiation of
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 -
1:05 Use music cues to support increased postural alignment.
1:20 Sensory patterns to support weight shift and UE Rotation. 4:12 Head
floating, body well balance over mid foot.
89/45 BPM 0:00 -
0:21 Bass again at 45 bpm to open stride and with piano/bass combination
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.
108/54 BPM 0:00 -
0:21 Bass again at 45 bpm to open stride and with piano/bass combination
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.
