Sonification Embodied Associations

May 24, 2020 updated by: Peter Feys, Hasselt University

Investigating Auditory Sonification (Melodic and Single Tones) and Visual Real-time Feedback as a Tool for Embodied Associations, and Its Effects on Learning and Balance in Persons With Multiple Sclerosis

The objective of this study to investigate, if learning and recall of a sequence of body movements (steps that realize a pattern on the ground) can be improved by self-produced music (having particular melodic-structures in relation to the pattern), compared to the same sound (a single tone) for each pattern in persons with multiple sclerosis compared to age and gender matched controls

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
accuracy
Time Frame: week 1
Number of correct sequences uttered, total number of sequences, precisions prior to completing three correct trials.
week 1
precision
Time Frame: week 1
Number of correct sequences uttered, total number of sequences, precisions prior to completing three correct trials.
week 1

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Inter Step intervals
Time Frame: week 1
The technology used can log time data. Therefore, the inter-step intervals can be calculated from the logged data.
week 1
Inter Stride intervals
Time Frame: week 1
The technology used can log time data. Therefore, the inter stride intervals can be calculated from the logged data.
week 1
step duration on the tile
Time Frame: week 1
The technology used can log time data. Therefore, the total time that each foot is placed on the tiles can be derived.
