Using GlassOuse assistive technology to facilitate original music creation with GarageBand by a patient with tetraplegia

Introduction Patients with tetraplegia due to spinal cord injury often present unique challenges in music therapy as physical limitations can affect their ability to participate in active music-making. People with tetraplegia also face unique challenges related to identity, independence, and activities of daily living. Adaptive technologies can offer increased accessibility of creative expression such as music-making and composition, but they are often underutilized due to a lack of research and of clinician competency in this area.
