Pilot Study Exploring the Effects of Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation on Gait in People With Motor Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
Exploring the Effects of Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation on Gait in Motor Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury: A Pilot Study
This pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a wearable rhythmic auditory stimulation system, MedRhythms, for improving gait parameters in patients with motor incomplete SCI. Up to 15 participants aged 18 years or older with non-progressive SCI will be enrolled. Participants will complete supervised gait training using the MedRhythms device twice weekly during regularly scheduled physical therapy sessions over a six-week period. The device uses shoe-mounted sensors and headphones to deliver real-time individualized rhythmic auditory cues based on the user's gait pattern.
Primary outcome measures include change in walking speed assessed with the 10-Meter Walk Test. Secondary outcomes include walking endurance measured by the 6-Minute Walk Test, gait parameters obtained through GAITRite analysis, and participant-reported outcomes including the Walking Index for Spinal Cord Injury II (WISCI II) and the SCI Quality of Life Satisfaction with Social Roles and Activities measure. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, post-intervention (6 weeks), and follow-up (12 weeks).
Findings from this study will provide preliminary data on the feasibility and potential clinical impact of rhythmic auditory stimulation as an adjunctive gait rehabilitation strategy for individuals with incomplete SCI.

Experimentell: Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation
Participants will wear a rhythmic auditory stimulation device (MedRhythms) for 30 minutes during physical therapy sessions twice a week for 6 weeks.
|
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a rhythmic auditory stimulation device (MedRhythms) in improving gait parameters in individuals with chronic, incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI).
Participants will train with the device in a supervised, in-clinic setting at Point West Clinic for 6 weeks, completing 2 sessions per week (12 sessions total)
