Music-Augmented Rhythmic Gait Training in Multiple Sclerosis

RecruitingNA

Sponsor: Biruni University

Conditions: Multiple Sclerosis, Rehabilitation

Interventions: Breathing and General Mobility Exercises, Music-Assisted Rhythmic Gait Training, Rhythmic Gait Training Without Music

Countries: Turkey (Türkiye)

This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of technology-based rhythmic gait training performed with and without music on walking performance and clinical outcomes in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Thirty-two participants with mild to moderate disability will be randomly assigned to either a music-assisted rhythmic gait training group or a non-music control group, with both interventions delivered via telerehabilitation. Outcomes related to gait performance, balance, fatigue, and cognitive function will be assessed before and after a four-week intervention period.
