About

Music listening has many positive effects on the brain. This study aims to find out if people with stroke get better results with their rehabilitation if they listen to music during their passive hours. The study is a randomized controlled trial with people who are at a rehabilitation center care after stroke at Tampere University Hospital. The control group gets standard rehabilitation. Music group gets standard rehabilitation and in addition they listen to music one hour a day during four weeks.
