  9. Who Am I? • I am not a Doctor and I am not a Music Therapist • I am a man with a chronic progressive neurological disease, that has no cure, who has experienced a change due to a music experience • I want to share that experience

  10. When I Was Young I Read a Story

  11. Promise To Myself After Diagnosis • I would never be embarrassed by the disease • I would tell everyone so as to create awareness • I would live every day to its fullest • I would reach out to help others

  14. My Story: Input From My Wife, Ann, At Taos Pueblo

  15. Modern History • James Parkinson • Essay on the Shaking Palsy - 1817 • Involuntary Tremulous Motion, with lessened muscular power, in part not in action and even when supported; with a propensity to bend the truck forwards, and to pass from a walking to a running pace; the senses and intellect being uninjured • Tretiakoff – 1919- discovered deficits in the SN • Late 1950’s and 60’s – dopamine significance recognized

  16. Who Gets PD? • 1 in 100 over 60 years of age • Average age of onset 60 years of age • 15% diagnosed before 50 years of age • Slightly more men than women

  17. What is Parkinson’s Disease? • Chronic progressive neurological disorder • Certain brain cells or neurons in the substantia nigra (SN) die or are impaired • Those neurons produce dopamine • Responsible for coordinated movement and balance

  18. Our Brain • Circuits formed by living cells called neurons • 50 billion neurons • On average 10,000 ends to each neuron • 1/2 transmitters • 1/2 receptors

  19. Our Brain • Neurons not directly connected to one another • Tiny gap between the transmitter end of one cell and the receptor end of another cell • Gap is called a synapse

  20. Our Brain - Messages • Neurons act as a communication network by using chemicals called neurotransmitters • Carry the message across synapses from one neuron to another • Allow nervous system to communicate with muscles and translate thought into motion

  21. Movement • Normally we don’t think about how it is possible for our bodies to move • It just happens when we want it to!

  22. Dopamine • Helps transmit messages from the SN to the striatum • Initiates movement • Controls movement and balance • Makes sure: • Muscles work smoothly, • Under control and • Without extra or unwanted movements

  23. Loss of Dopamine • SN degenerate  • decreased dopamine  • lack of regulation of movement control centers in the brain  • striatum fires excessively  • loss of control of movements  • Cardinal signs become apparent at 70-80% dopamine loss

  24. Other Signs of PD • Small handwriting • Changes in posture – stooped and lack of arm swing • Decreased facial expression • Speech changes • Difficulty swallowing and drooling • Depression/anxiety • Pain • Sleep disturbances • Constipation • Urinary frequency • Sexual dysfunction • Low blood pressure • Fatigue/loss of energy • Changes in mental function over time

  25. TBI Long Term • TBI can also cause epilepsy and increase the risk for conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other brain disorders that become more prevalent with age. • About 75% of TBIs that occur each year are concussions

  26. Remember A brain that engages in music is changed by engaging in music

  27. Advantages Of Native Flute • Relaxation • Coordination • Breathing Exercise • Social Stimulation • Fun • Portable • Focus on now…Today

  28. Tony In Cameron The Flute And His Father

  29. The Profession of Music Therapy • Began after WW I & II • Musicians went to Veterans Hospitals • Positive patients physical & emotional response • First formal degree program in Music Therapy began in 1950 in the U.S. NIH/NLM US Army, Fitzsimons

  30. MUSIC THERAPY • Music therapy is defined as • “the systematic application of music by the music therapist • to bring about helpful changes • in the emotional or physical health of the client.” and

  31. American Music Therapy Association Defines Music Therapy As: • … the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program. • Music Therapy is an established health profession in which music is used within a therapeutic relationship to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals.
