Gait in Older People with Cognitive Impairments During Rhythmic Auditory Cueing: A Scoping Review

Key Points

Rhythmic auditory cueing improves gait performance in older adults with cognitive impairment, indicating potential therapeutic benefits.
Different cognitive stages and various RAC protocols are examined to assess their specific effects on gait variables.
The review analyzes multiple studies to understand the relationship between cognitive impairment, medical conditions, and gait outcomes.
Results call for further research on tailored RAC strategies to enhance mobility in this population, with implications for elderly care.

Abstract

Purpose Rhythmic auditory cueing (RAC) can enhance gait performance. However, little is known about its effect in people with cognitive impairment. The aim of this review was to describe, in studies of people with cognitive impairment: 1) the medical conditions and cognitive stages studied; 2) the RAC protocols and gait variables measured; and 3) whether cognitive stage or RAC protocols have differing effects on gait.
