Brief summary
This is a study to develop the vibroacustic devices, and to compare the effects between vibroacustic device therapy and music therapy in adults with dementia or with neck pain. The immediate effect and long-term training effect would be assessed.
Detailed description
The outcome measures included functional assessment ( such as: range of motion, balance etc.) and neurolphysiological assessment (such as: electroencephalographic activity or electromyographic activity).

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| the electroencephalographic (EEG) activities ncluding Alpha, Beta, Theta, and Delta signals will be assessed in persons with mild to moderate dementia and healthy subjects.after sensory stimulation. . | one year | The EEG was recorded by EMOTIV EPOC+ mobile headset (Bioinformatics Company, USA). The wireless 14-EEG channels on the skull were located at anterior frontal (AF), frontal (F), frontal central (FC), temporal (T), parietal (P) and occipital (O) areas,The frequency analysis of brain waves includinh Alpha, Beta, Theta, and Delta signals before, during and after sensory stimulation will be recorded and analyzed. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The pressure pain threshold following multisensory stimulation will be assessed around cervical region. | one year | The pressure pain threshold was measured by MicroFET3 ( Hoggan Health Industries, Utah, USA) at cervical region including cervical erector (CE), upper trapezius (UT) and sternocleidomastoid (SCM). At the trigger point of the muscle, the pressure of the test group is increased at a rate of about 1 newton/second. When the subject feels uncomfortable, the active stop is the end point of the test for perceived pain threshold. |
