Music-based Neurological Rehabilitation (MBNR)
Music-based Neurological Rehabilitation (MBNR) will involve 10 weeks of individual training (30 sessions, 1 hour per session, 3 days per week) given by a trained music therapist. The MBNR protocol utilizes structured cognitive-motor training with drums (drum set, djembe drums) and creative musical expression (music playing, song writing) with piano that are geared towards engaging and training attention, executive functions, working memory, and upper-extremity functions and for enhancing emotional self-expression, adjustment, and mood after TBI.
Standard Care (SC)
Standard Care (SC) consists of other types of conventional rehabilitation (physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and/or neuropsychological rehabilitation) and medical care for TBI that the patients receive in Finnish private or public health care.
