Playing musical instruments is known to have significant beneficial influence in
treating children and adults with cognitive, intellectual and
developmental disabilities, like cerebral palsy, developmental
delay, autism and autism spectrum disorders.
Sadly, conventional musical instruments are often proved to be
too difficult to play with for the disabled, as most instruments
require a high degree of control and skill.
Analogtone's Sound Generator (patent pending), SoundGen in
short, is an innovative tool for music therapists, art
therapists and occupational therapists, as well as for
paramedics specializing in neurological aftercare and palm
rehabilitation. SoundGen generates sounds, voices or music
electronically, based on a selected treatment program, in
response to force applied by the palm on special pressure
sensitive grip sensors.
Playing using
SoundGen is simple and intuitive. Most patients, even those
suffering severe disabilities, find the association of the grip
with the sounds produced to be direct and natural.
This makes therapy using SoundGen an enjoyable and exciting
experience. The play and challenge, combined with the simplicity
and immediacy in generation of music, serve as a significant
motivational factor in the desire to continue with the
treatment.
