The Effects of Treadmill Training with Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation on Gait in Patients with Stroke: A Report of 3 Cases
Abstract
Purpose This study was aimed to investigat the effects of treadmill training with rhythmic auditory stimulation on gait in
patients with stroke. Methods Three subjects were evaluated using the 10meter walking test (10MWT) and functional gait
assessment (FGA). The protocol included 17 minutes treadmill training with periods of rhythmic auditory stimulation
(RAS) for 2 weeks. Results Following treadmill training with rhythmic auditory, subjects showed decreases in the time
taken to complete the 10meter walking test and a increase in gait velocity and cadence. In addition, all subjects showed
improvement in the functional gait assessment score. Conclusion Treadmill training with rhythmic auditory stimulation had
utility as a program to improve gait ability in stroke patients.
