Summary
Music therapy, specifically rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS), significantly improves gait parameters like speed and stride length in neurological patients. This music-based therapy is a valuable tool for rehabilitation in healthcare systems.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Rehabilitation Medicine
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Music therapy is recognized for neurological benefits, but its use with wearable devices in clinical practice remains under-explored.
- There is a need to synthesize current evidence on music-based interventions for neurological populations.
Conclusions:
- Music-based therapy, specifically RAS, is an effective tool for neurological rehabilitation.
- The findings support the integration of music-based RAS into healthcare systems for managing movement disorders.
