Study

Research design

Intervention treatment

Intensity minutes, frequency, duration

Cha et al., 2014 [18]

Pre-post study

walking in 5 conditions:

1) no RAS

2) baseline-matched RAS

3) -10%

4) + 10%

5) + 20% metronome

Duration depending on the time needed to walk the distance of 457 cm 3 times

Collimore et al., 2023 [35]

Pre-post study

Automated gait rehabilitation delivered via the closed-loop control of music

30 min

Hutchinson et al., 2020 [25]

Pre-post study

30 min

Ko et al., 2016 [27]

Pre-post study

walking in 5 conditions:

1) no Ras

2) baseline-matched RAS

3) -10%

4) + 10%

5) + 20% with metronome

Each RAS condition was practiced for 10 min. A 3-min adaptation period and a 7-min gait-training period were included

Pre-post study

Rhythmic auditory stimulation

metronome or musical rhythm instrument (drum or autoharp)

20 min
