ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) on gait of stroke hemiplegic patients. Methods From April, 2014 to April, 2015, eleven stroke hemiplegic patients were divided into RAS group (n=6) and control group (n=5) randomly. Both groups accepted routine rehabilitation, and the RAS group accepted RAS walking exercise, while the control group accepted verbal in-structed walking exercise. They were tested with Brunnstrom's Stage and gait analysis before and three weeks after training. Results There was no significant increase in Brunnstrom's Stage (Z0.05) in both groups after training. The RAS group increased in stride length, velocity and cadence (t>4.829, P0.05). Conclusion Walking exercise under RAS facilitates to improve gait in stroke hemiplegic patients.
