This is great information. thank you for posting. I have a documentary coming out in January 2023 after I did medical research on the effects/symptoms of playing a drum kit when you have Parkinson's. I proved that playing the drums actually improves your quality of life and lessens the symptoms of the disease. In 2020, I lost my total ability to play drums because of Parkinson's. Now, I have regained over 90% of my previous ability and play in a band. Music is a great natural healer.
@@versatilevocals3531 As of this moment, they are still finishing up on the edits of the "Proof of Concept" of the documentary. According to the producer, he is hoping to get it out on social media within the next few weeks. My research was a culmination of self trials and pieces of articles from musicians with Parkinson's and medical findings. My neurologist wasn't even aware of this until she saw the effects of what I did. The funny and perplexing part of all of this is that I reached out to the Michael J Fox Foundation with my findings almost 2 years ago with my findings and asking for assistance in producing the documentary. They responded saying that they don't do documentaries be to get a hold of them when the documentary was completed (without their assistance). I did just that in 2022 and they never responded back. In short, although there is no known cure at this time for Parkinson's, I believe my findings shows that playing a drum kit actually slows the progression of the disease. I have since cut the amount my Parkinson's medication in half and have a better quality of life playing music has given me more mobility overall. The main point is that I have shown that playing a drum kit relights the neurons in the brain that Parkinson's kills off and that drumming requires both hemispheres of the brain to work simultaneously as both arms and legs (hands and feet) move and different time patterns. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions and I wish you the best in completing your Masters. I am also a retired professor of emergency medicine at a Connecticut university so I applaud your efforts in pursuing your academics.
@@versatilevocals3531 I do have some videos of my band on RUclips. Search "David Putterman" and there are 5 of my videos there for my band BackTrax. Ian Paice, the drummer for Deep Purple also did a little piece on me in his RUclips segment "Drum Tribe pt 6" before I completed my findings.
@@davidputterman2719 do you have any more information about your findings? I run the wellness music department at Pandora, and have a family member who suffers from parkinsons who is also a musician. Any information would help!
@YellowMan331 Thanks so much for your coment. Unfortunately there is no being alright from Parkinson's disease. I am still getting along pretty well, but I have noticed the symptoms progressing more lately. I just had ankle replacement surgery which is not related, just another obstacle to overcome along the way. Anyway have a Merry Christmas and a great New Year!
This makes me cry every time I watch (which has been too many to count!). I was able to incorporate this into on of my patient's PT treatment yesterday with amazing results! Thank you so much for sharing this. The joy and delight in her face when she was able to move freely was just the BEST!
Cheers for this, I have been researching "homeopathic remedies for parkinson's disease" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Piyaliyah Prominent Prepotence - (do a search on google ) ? It is a smashing one of a kind product for discovering how to reverse Parkinsons disease without the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my neighbour got great success with it.
Thank you so much for sharing this on video! I witnessed this in person in a music therapy session conducted at the Center for Music Therapy in Austin Texas in 1999. Witnessing this inspired me to research entrainment and rhythm psychology (I am and ethnomusicologist, my best friend in Austin is the music therapist who runs the Center). Thanks to your post here, I can share this therapeutic benefit of music with undergraduates in a general education music appreciation course. Having tools like this video helps disseminate knowledge about music's awesome power in individuals' lives, culture, and society.
my mother had severe pd and would periodically freeze up. after she seen your video , we started playing music and within a few minutes she was walking again. heh even sometimes she would shimmy all the way down to floor and back up(while holding on to furniture) , when just 60-90 seconds before she was froze up. thank you for sharing this video. im thinking she told me you filmed this in oklahoma, possibly around mcallister area. i wish you could of met her, i bet you could of changed her life.
That’s amazing and so. Beautiful. Love to know more about the science. The dancing part made me want to cry- very touching and not to mention therapeutic!
that's what they did in the movie that Robbin Williams played in. He played a doctor and he noticed all the patients had Parkinson's symptoms moved much better with music
Thank's for sharing this bealtifull vídeo! my father probably is with parkinson's desease, now we are doing some checks with the doctors to see If It is parkinson or another problem!
The difference in his walking is amazing! What is the science behind this form of therapy? Is it the back beat of the music that improves his movements?
It looks like he is two-stepping (country two-stepping) and the genre of music would suggest as much. Might be coincidental, but you might find out his dance background.
This is pretty amazing. As I watched his gait change with the music, I wondered if he had dance in his background. As you began to two step with him, that answer was clear. I wonder if this gait training is as effective with someone who does not have dance history?
Hello, I love this video so much! I work at the Texas HHS agency and wanted to ask your permission for a colleague who wishes to show this video during a presentation he is doing. Is this ok?
Amazing! This vid should have a million views. Your patient is so lucky to have you.. Thanks for sharing! BTW, can you use any type of music to elicit this response?
@QE ornotQE its not a brain trick, in pd the the internal clock is messed up, and music tempo provides an external clock, from with muscle calculations can beada
Dear Anicea, I will be given a talk on motor impairments seen in patients suffering from Parkinsons diesease and the effect of Music on them. Would you allow me to show your video in a conference? If so, could you give me the source of this video? Hospital or City? Thanks a lot

@@aniceagunlock2352 hey, that's really amazing and it is useful and may help out many patient with the same condition . would you mind telling me the details of the whole process like which kind of music you used ( something from patient's music list or not ) how many times a day for how many days or just during walking... i actually need all this details so that i can use this details on my patients here in India. kamleshthakur870@gmail.com . thank you
@@kamleshthakur2332 I chose a song from the genre of music that he liked and tried to find one that had a rhythm that was conducive to an appropriate gait cadence.
my father 2 years of suffering Parkinson decease :( need spend lots of money :( work hard, .:( massage my own father and drink medecine anti Parkinson levodopa but, after expired u need massage, leg, neck, hand and buy oxygen in order to breathe, eat everyday :( life is hard and my family will be broken if my father die:(>>>>>>> any tips for removing the Parkinson without deep "brain stimulation" in head that will cost millions of dollar i might die paying so i will better let my father die so if no one can help sad life Parkinson never healed the anti Parkinson tablet will expire not permanen healed my father cost alot of money, if no more money what will happen :( sad LIFE THAT'S MY FATHER LIFE IN SUFFERERING IN PARKINSON 2 YEARS ALREADY ..
So I'm a little bit skeptical.... What did the music do other than improve his mood and provide additional encouragement to try walking around? It seems as though this person could have walked without the music, had they simply had a greater degree of motivation... I'm not seeing how the music would have corrected his condition by such an extensive amount.
This is actually used in music therapy as a technique to improve gait among Parkinson's patients, as well as others who have trouble walking. Music does improve his mood, and also provides motivation like you mentioned. Music also contains rhythm, which is what drives his movement. We are all programmed to sync with rhythm, and cannot help to move to the beat. This phenomenon is called Rhythmic Entrainment. Neurological Music Therapist use this in a method known as Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation. Here is some more information if you are curious about it. nmtacademy.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/nmt-definitions.pdf
It's not really to do with mood, it's to do with music's effect on his brain. The way music therapy works is through stimulating different parts of the brain simultaneously that otherwise would not be able to connect due to damage from diseases such as dementia or Parkinson's, and like someone has already said, here it's an example of rhythmic entrainment - the part of his brain that controls motor skills and movement responds to the rhythm of the music allowing his body to initiate the movements more effectively, in time with the beat.
Hi, Kasey, I don't know if you will get this because it's so long since you posted, but music from the standpoint of physics is a source of energy. In the body, music organizes the brain. Tiny muscles in the ears, the stapedius muscles, "gate" sound through the middle ear into the inner ear. If those muscles are weak, insufficient sound passes through the middle ear to energize the two halves of the brain. The right ear muscle is especially important because it controls the necessary dominance of the left-brain over the right-brain, which makes us sane, allows learning and memory and all the other normal states of consciousness. A weak right ear muscle causes most of the forms of mental illness and a weak left ear muscle causes depression. Music strengthens those ear muscles by moving them.

I'm sorry to tell you my daughter Anicea passed away almost 2 years ago. She was a very special person ❤
I believe that song was, Good Ole Boys Like Me -Don William's.
Fascinating to see the power or music.
I’ve read about Parkinson’s & dopamine reduction in the brain, music releases dopamine so maybe a connection there!

Research says that patient preferred music is most effective
Thx!
Which song is it?
Awesome... But would he have to listen to that same song for the rest of his life?
is it depend on patient what kind of music he likes.?
or we can choose any music and play.???
It is researched based that the most effective way is using patient preferred music !

Athena Brown you did not seriously say if a parkinsons patient was more motivated they could walk normally. ....
It's not really to do with mood, it's to do with music's effect on his brain. The way music therapy works is through stimulating different parts of the brain simultaneously that otherwise would not be able to connect due to damage from diseases such as dementia or Parkinson's, and like someone has already said, here it's an example of rhythmic entrainment - the part of his brain that controls motor skills and movement responds to the rhythm of the music allowing his body to initiate the movements more effectively, in time with the beat.
It was clearly the opinion of someone who has no personal experience with Parkinson's.
