Abstract
One of the primary goals of rehabilitation is to restore mobility through gait training. Recent advances in technology and a culmination of medical research have revealed the role of auditory stimulation as an internalized time keeper for rhythmic patterned movements. The aim of this review was to investigate research on rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) in specific conditions in health care. Numerous studies using RAS have shown to improve gait patterns in hemiplegic gait, parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injuries, cerebral palsy, Alzheimer’s disease and Huntington’s disease, but no changes in spinal cord injuries.
