Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of neurological movement, rhythmic and melodic intervention on executive function of people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). 20 women) age   20- 30 years) who are members of the Iranian MS Association, with relapsing-remitting course and low Extended Disability Status (EDSS <3) were selected using convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to either control or experimental group. The experimental group received 30 sessions twice a week of musical Executive Function group training) NEFT) with the assistance of a musician. Scores were gathered using Wisconsin Card Sorting (wcst) in the pre-test and post-test stages. Also, the Kurske (1983) extended disability status scale was used to evaluate the physical disabilities of MS participants. The results of MONCOVA indicated significant improvement in categorizing and reducing preservative errors in experimental group compering to the control group. Also, results showed musical intervention has small to medium effect size according to the Cohen Scale. Findings suggest that the neurological movement, rhythmic and melodic interventions can improve executive function skills such as organizing, problem-solving, decision making, and comprehension which may enhance everyday activities of people with MS which can be applied to clinical settings.
