AI summary: who the study is looking for
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults who had a first stroke more than 6 months ago and can walk 10 meters. It tests walking training on a treadmill with sound cues.
- Age
- From 20 to 85 years old.
- Sex
- Women and men can both join.
- Disease stage
- First-time stroke, more than 6 months after it started (chronic stroke).
Main reasons for not taking part
- Bone or joint problems that affect walking, or other diseases that may interfere with the study
- A score below 24 on the mini-mental state examination (MMSE)
- Severe balance problems, with a Berg Balance Scale score below 45 points
- Severe vision, hearing or speech problems

- Original description
The first objective of this study is to examine the superiority of the combined rhythmic auditory cueing with cognitive treadmill training (combined group) in people with stroke as compared with the cognitive treadmill walking training (cognitive group) or treadmill walking training alone (treadmill group) (Aim 1). The study's second aim is to investigate the factors affecting the improvement in community walking capacity after interventions and to explore whether changes in community walking capacity are associated with changes in participation after interventions (Aim 2).Read full original descriptionShow less
Effects of Rhythmic Auditory Cueing Augments Cognitive Treadmill Walking Training on Community Walking Capacity, Walking Automaticity, and Social Participation in Individuals With Chronic Stroke: a Randomized Controlled Trial
The first objective of this study is to examine the superiority of the combined rhythmic auditory cueing with cognitive treadmill training (combined group) in people with stroke as compared with the cognitive treadmill walking training (cognitive group) or treadmill walking training alone (treadmill group) (Aim 1). The study's second aim is to investigate the factors affecting the improvement in community walking capacity after interventions and to explore whether changes in community walking capacity are associated with changes in participation after interventions (Aim 2).
Inclusion: diagnosed with first-time stroke; more than 6 months after stroke onset; able to walk 10 meters; no severe vision, hearing, or speech impairments; understand and follow the instructions and sign the Informed Consent Form; older than 20 years old.
Exclusion: orthopedic problems affecting walking or other diseases that may interfere with study participation; severe balance disorder with a total score of less than 45 points Berg Balance Scale; a score of less than 24 on the mini-mental state examination (MMSE).
