Official title: A Collaborative Music Therapy/Physical Therapy Intervention to Enhance Well-being and Functional Recovery Post-stroke

The purpose of this study is to see if group Music Therapy and Physical Therapy will help in the recovery from stroke. It is hoped that music and physical therapy in a group setting will help physical, mental, and social well-being.
