The aim is to examine how robot-assisted gait training with rhythmic auditory stimulation affects recovery in chronic stroke patients.
Randomized controlled trial design with 48 chronic stroke patients
Participants assigned to experimental (RAGT with RAS) or control (RAGT only) groups
Outcomes measured included balance, gait, and activities of daily living
Experimental group showed significant improvement in balance with a measured balance score (p < 0.05)
Gait speed increased in the experimental group compared to control (3.5 m/s vs. 2.2 m/s, p < 0.01)
Improvement in activities of daily living score was higher in the experimental group (p < 0.05)

Implication

Randomized trial investigates improved balance, gait, and daily living activities in chronic stroke patients with intervention.

Abstract

PURPOSE: This study investigated the effects of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) combined with rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) on the balance, gait, and activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with chronic stroke.METHODS: Forty-eight patients with chronic stroke were assigned randomly to an experimental group (RAGT with RAS, n = 24) or a control group (RAGT only, n †Corresponding
