Music-Augmented Rhythmic Gait Training in Multiple Sclerosis
Music-Augmented Versus Non-Music Technology-Based Rhythmic Gait Training in Multiple Sclerosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Gait Performance and Clinical Outcomes
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 10 Feb 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of technology-based rhythmic gait training performed with and without music on walking performance and clinical outcomes in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Thirty-two participants with mild to moderate disability will be randomly assigned to either a music-assisted rhythmic gait training group or a non-music control group, with both interventions delivered via telerehabilitation. Outcomes related to gait performance, balance, fatigue, and cognitive function will be assessed before and after a four-week intervention period.
