要旨

Differences between the two groups in terms of obtained muscle strength were measured. The Manual Muscle Test (MMT) of the Lovett, Medical Research Council was used before and after the experiment. The results showed that the majority of subjects showed greater improvement of muscle strength after using Thai musical instruments when compared to subjects in the traditional Akaboshi group. There were however, some drawbacks in the use of Thai instruments due to their size and weight. Some instruments were found to be unsuitable for certain muscle groups and some types of disabilities. The results of this small experiment support the hypothesis that Thai instruments could be used in lieu of those in the original Akaboshi methodology.
