AB  - OBJECTIVE: After completing formal stroke rehabilitation programs, most patients 
      do not achieve full upper limb motor function recovery. Music-supported Therapy 
      (MST) can improve motor functionality post stroke through musical training. We 
      designed a home-based enriched Music-supported Therapy (eMST) program to provide 
      patients with chronic stroke the opportunity of continuing rehabilitation by 
      themselves. We developed an app to conduct the eMST sessions at home with a 
      MIDI-piano and percussion instruments. Here, we tested the feasibility of the 
      eMST intervention using the novel app. METHOD: This is a pilot study where five 
      patients with chronic stroke underwent a 10-week intervention of 3 sessions per 
      week. Patients answered feasibility questionnaires throughout the intervention to 
      modify aspects of the rehabilitation program and the app according to their 
      feedback. Upper limb motor functions were evaluated pre- and post-intervention as 
      well as speed and force tapping during daily piano performance. RESULTS: Patients 
      clinically improved in upper limb motor function achieving the Minimal Detectable 
      Change (MDC) or Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) in most of motor 
      tests. The app received high usability ratings post-intervention. CONCLUSION: The 
      eMST program is a feasible intervention for patients with chronic stroke and its 
      efficacy should be assessed in a clinical trial.
