The Novel Use of Treadmill Plus Music in MS Patients Gate Rehabilitation

Although the number of studies and the extent of available evidence is greater in case of parkinsonism, there is also evidence of the effects of music-based interventions on supporting motor function and emotional well-being in people with multiple sclerosis. Interventions based on music can influence multiple functions. Recently it has been shown that coupling of auditory signals with motor training may be possible to form a rhythmic gait by dragging movement patterns, supporting the generation of better gait patterns; moreover, it can have effects on the rhythmic dragging; the commitment of automatic timing systems; movement planning, execution and learning; and an increase in motivation. Furthermore, this type of coupling has been shown to improve various gait parameters, including cadence, gait speed, stride length, gait time variability and pitch width. The aim of our study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the treadmill training combined with RAS in terms of mobility, balance and gait parameters, patient's well-being.
