General methodological framework
Results
Figure 2 presents the minimum, maximum and mean values of all measurements of group A subjects’ HR just before the MT session, as well after 30 and 60 minutes respectively. Findings from HR alteration analysis revealed that MT helps calm young children with mental retardation. More specifically, 30 minutes after the beginning of the MT the HR mean value decreased from 105.7 bps to 101.9 bps and just after the end of the session decreased more to 100.1 bps. A very interesting point of this observation is that the major part of the HR decrease (67.85%) realized at the first half-hour of the session suggesting that the dose relationship in music therapy is not absolutely linear.
