Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation as Pre-Gait Training for Improving Balance and Weight Shifting in Rehabilitation Patients
Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation as Pre-Gait Training for Improving Balance and Weight Shifting in Rehabilitation Patients: A Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 2 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purpose of this study is to explore whether Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS) as pre-gait training can help improve balance, weight-shifting abilities, and overall gait performance in stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation. This is a feasibility study, designed to evaluate the practicality of incorporating RAS into stroke rehabilitation programs. It aims to assess how well patients can participate in and adhere to this intervention, as well as how seamlessly it integrates with standard physiotherapy treatments typically provided to stroke patients. By examining these factors, the investigators aim to identify the resources, staff training, and planning required to implement RAS as a regular component of stroke rehabilitation in the future. The study will also help estimate the effects of RAS on balance and gait outcomes, providing preliminary data to design a larger, more comprehensive study in the future.
