The effects of different frequencies of rhythmic acoustic stimulation on gait stability in healthy elderly individuals: a pilot study

Abstract: The efficacy of rhythmic acoustic stimulation (RAS) to improve gait and balance in healthy elderly individuals is controversial. Our aim was to investigate, through 3D gait analysis, the effect of different types of RAS (fixed frequency and based on subject-specific cadence), using conventional gait parameters and the trunk displacement as readouts. Walking at a fixed frequency of 80 bpm, the subjects showed extended duration of gait cycle and increased gait variability while the same individuals, walking at a… Show more

“…However, most studies to date only concern the immediate effects of rhythmic auditory entrainment on gait. The direct effect of rhythmic cueing was the primary focus in recent studies showing positive effects on gait variability ( Vitorio et al, 2018 ) and dynamical postural stability in healthy older adults ( Minino et al, 2021 ). Only one clinical RCT has been conducted to examine the effects of RAS gait training for community-dwelling older adults ( Trombetti et al, 2011 ).…”

“…For example, physical activity accompanied with RAS produced significant improvements in strength, functional activity promotion of synchronized movements. ( Minino et al, 2021 ). In this current study, among these searched articles, music interventions always came with physical activities or movements, such as sitting and standing balance activities, or stretching, strengthening, and breathing exercises ( Table 3 ).…”

“…Depression is a very common disorder in the general population, in both physiological and specific pathological conditions, and results in physical and cognitive changes that affect human functioning [ 54 , 55 ]. Depression is the most frequently identified disorder during the pandemic, often in comorbidity with other symptoms such as generalized anxiety or sleep disorders [ 56 ].…”
