| Summary: | Listening to music and its rhythmic patterns may alter the planning and execution of general body movements, create physiological changes in the autonomic nervous system, and has been shown to affect cognitive processing. The goal of this paper is to provide the springboard for incorporating music into the vision therapy arena to enhance visual-motor and visual processing skills. A literature review of internal and external body rhythms is presented to provide a basic introduction to the components of motor planning and execution. The interaction between audition and vision and an introduction of how music is used in the rehabilitation arena is also presented. |
