A dazzling array of musical instruments, fresh small classrooms, and music teachers in Shuai Shuai ... The reporter walked into the music therapy room of Guangdong Industrial Injury Rehabilitation Hospital, the first rehabilitation hospital in China, yesterday and listened to a special music class. In this music therapy room, which mainly serves patients with brain injury, spinal cord injury and bone trauma, there is a professional music therapist and a professional psychotherapist. They use music and love to call back patients' language and motor ability, and at the same time call back their confidence and hope.

Music class

I still have to be sure that the singing is rough

Mozart is hung on the wall, and various musical instruments such as piano, guitar and drum set are placed in the room. The warm sunshine shines through the window sill, and a clean and handsome male teacher smiles to signal students to keep up with the rhythm ... This scene is staged in the rehabilitation hospital every day.

However, it's not young students or accomplished musicians who sing, but patients with language barriers. A short song "Auld Lang Syne", four middle-aged patients, after learning to sing for a long time, was still very rough, but it was fully affirmed by the teacher. "Progress, open your mouth and make a sound ..." He kept guiding, "Try again, pa, pei, pi, po, pu…… ... and see how many sounds you can make."

Yesterday, the reporter walked into the music therapy room of Guangdong Industrial Injury Rehabilitation Hospital and saw this amazing scene. Four patients who suffered from language disorders due to injuries in various industrial accidents are practicing their pronunciation and looking for lost sounds.

After singing practice, the patient picked up the tambourine and the sand hammer respectively, and followed the teacher's cheerful African drums to beat the time. The simple "1, 2, 3, 4" is not well mastered by patients. "Their wrists have not fully recovered, they are not strong enough and flexible enough, but they have worked hard." The therapist said.

Therapist

The new job has been greatly challenged

This Shuai Shuai therapist named Yu Kanglun graduated from Xinghai Conservatory of Music in 211. When his classmates became music producers or music teachers in succession, he had a special affection for doctors since childhood and chose music therapy which was still in its infancy in China.

"Although I had theoretical contact and psychological preparation before, I was greatly shocked when I walked into the hospital for the first class." Yu Kanglun told reporters. He has been living in the music circle, and his personality is flamboyant, his clothes are fashionable, his hair style is changeable, and he is constantly speculating. "When you used to deal with the United States all day, now you have to face the faces of severely burned patients every day, which is a great psychological challenge."

Yu Kanglun, who sits in front of the reporter, still has a fashionable hairstyle, but she is not dyed or abrupt. She wears uniform work clothes and patiently guides patients ... All these are hard to be associated with a person who "plays music". "It's a completely different person after work." Partner Liu Yingying broke the news.

"Music therapy is a relatively mature frontier discipline abroad, but it has just developed in China in recent years, and not many people really understand this industry. There are very few people who fully apply music to rehabilitation treatment in China. " Liu Siwen, director of the rehabilitation department of Guangdong Industrial Injury Rehabilitation Hospital, said that in 29, he led a team to study in Germany and Switzerland, and learned from the mode and experience of foreign music therapy in hospitals (especially rehabilitation centers) before opening a music therapy room. From the planning and preparation of the music therapy room to the purchase of each musical instrument, Yu Kanglun is the main operator.

patients

open their hearts in music

where is the curative effect of music? "It's not that after music therapy, a hemiplegic person becomes alive and kicking." Yu Kanglun explained that through the comfort and assistance of music, the patient's emotional problems, speech-language barriers, coordination of coarse movements, fine movements of limbs, decreased attention and obstacles to spatial concepts were gradually improved.

"What makes me most happy is that the aphasic patients can finally speak, the patients who often cry and shout have finally calmed down, and the patients who have been resisting to speak have begun to communicate with you on their own initiative ... All in all, through these treatments, patients can find back the joy of being a human being and rebuild their self-confidence." Yu Kanglun said.

The patients who come to the industrial injury rehabilitation hospital for treatment are all normal people who suddenly encounter various accidents, such as car accidents, falling from high altitude, machine failures, etc. While losing all kinds of functions, their psychology becomes extremely fragile. "There are a lot of patients who were originally the pillars of the family, and it is difficult to accept themselves now. When I first arrived here, I burst into tears or said nothing as soon as I touched a sensitive place. " Liu Yingying introduced that after music therapy, they gradually became vocal, their wrists gradually became flexible, and their closed hearts gradually opened. "Anxiety and depression have been alleviated."

In this treatment process, great patience and love are needed, as well as various professional knowledge. In Yu Kanglun's view, "music therapists not only need to be proficient in playing all kinds of musical instruments and singing vocal music, but also have certain psychological and medical knowledge." One of the most important skills is to improvise piano or guitar accompaniment to guide patients to play or sing to achieve specific therapeutic purposes. "

In this treatment room, Yu Kanglun has professional music knowledge and is very interested in medical treatment. Liu Yingying, on the other hand, graduated from Guangzhou Medical College, majoring in psychology, and loved music since childhood. They are very complementary. Since the opening of the clinic for 5 months, the music therapy room has been welcomed by patients and their families. At present, more than 1, people have been treated, both for groups and for individual small focus.

treatment story

depressed people no longer resist

Mr. Li used to be a senior engineer making airplanes, and he was a leader in both salary and technology. However, a car accident completely changed his life. The brain injury led to the impairment of language and motor ability, and also hit him psychologically.

"I couldn't say a word when I first came in, and I was very resistant." Liu Yingying told reporters, "Do nothing, cooperate with nothing, have a big temper, be' treacherous' and face the world coldly." However, after four or five months of treatment, in yesterday's music class, he was holding a sand hammer. Although he couldn't keep up with the beat completely, he beat the beat with great heart. When the reporter asked him about the effect, he was also very happy to say, "Very good." When the reporter asked about his age, he had a hard time, but he raised his finger and gestured with the words 5.

"Now I can communicate with people simply, and my depression and anxiety have been greatly improved." Liu Yingying said.

Aphasic people speak

On the wall of the treatment room, there is a red banner that is particularly eye-catching: "Notes and melodies can cure aphasia, and re-vocalization can create miracles." This is from a patient in Shilong, Dongguan, Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao is 61 years old and used to be an administrative supervisor in a middle school. However, a sudden car accident damaged his brain. After two years of treatment and rehabilitation, although his body was treated, his body and mind were seriously damaged. The most typical symptom was aphasia.

They have been to the most prestigious China Rehabilitation Institute, but the effect is not satisfactory. Under the guidance of the industry, "there is a middle health in the north and a work health in the south", I went to Guangdong Industrial Injury Rehabilitation Hospital with a try mentality and received music therapy. "Just came in, don't say a word. You can see that patients are bored, always saying' forget it' and' forget it', and have no confidence in themselves and the hospital. Let him speak, he just makes a mouth and doesn't speak. " Liu Yingying introduced, but the music gradually calmed his fidgety heart. Mr. Zhao changed from passive cooperation to active participation. After three or four months of treatment, Mr. Zhao has made great progress. He didn't say a word before, but now he can speak briefly. "His wife is extremely happy, and he is also a lot happier and more optimistic."
