ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the immediate effects of rhythmic auditory stimulation gait training combined with vibrotactile feedback and rhythmic auditory stimulation gait training on the gait in stroke patients, and to compare the effects of the two training methods. METHODS: Eight stroke patients who met the selection criteria participated in two types of training methods: rhythmic auditory stimulation gait training combined with vibrotactile feedback(RAS-V) and rhythmic auditory stimulation gait training(RAS). In the RAS-V, subjects performed gait training with rhythmic auditory stimulation from a hand device while perceiving real-time vibrotactile feedback, maintaining a consistent walking pattern. In the RAS, subjects performed gait training in with rhythmic auditory stimulation. The subjects participated in a total of 30 minutes of gait training, and gait parameters were evaluated using the GAITRite® system.
RESULTS: In between-training methods comparison, the RAS-V showed statistically significant differences compared to the RAS of gait velocity, gait cadence, step time, cycle time, swing time, stance time, single support time, double support time, and double support phase on the affected and unaffected sides(p < .05).
CONCLUSION: This study suggests that rhythmic auditory stimulation gait training combined with vibrotactile feedback can improve the gait function compared to rhythmic auditory stimulation gait training and that the inclusion of vibrotactile feedback results significant improvements in the changes in gait parameters.
