Music-Augmented Rhythmic Gait Training in Multiple Sclerosis
Sponsor: Biruni University
Summary
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.

Conditions
Interventions
Breathing and General Mobility Exercises
rticipants will perform standardized breathing exercises and general mobility exercises. These exercises will be delivered in the same telerehabilitation format and supervised by a physiotherapist.
Music-Assisted Rhythmic Gait Training
Participants will perform rhythmic gait training accompanied by music. The training will be delivered via telerehabilitation with real-time supervision through videoconferencing. Sessions will be conducted four days per week for four weeks. Gait training will be guided using instructional videos presented with music accompaniment.
Rhythmic Gait Training Without Music
Participants will perform the same rhythmic gait training program without music. The training will be delivered via telerehabilitation with real-time supervision through videoconferencing. Sessions will be conducted four days per week for four weeks. Gait training will be guided using instructional videos presented without music (silent).
