Music-Based Walking Training for Neurological Conditions

This trial is testing a rehabilitation technique called sonification—using specially designed music and sound during walking exercises—to help improve gait in people with neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease, stroke, or multiple sclerosis. The study compares walking rehabilitation with musical support to standard walking rehabilitation without music. Research suggests that music can engage multiple brain areas involved in movement and may help people walk faster, with better balance and stride length.

Many people with neurological diseases struggle with walking and movement due to brain damage or disease affecting their motor control. While this treatment has shown promise in smaller studies, researchers want to confirm whether it truly works better than standard rehabilitation alone, and whether the benefits last beyond the training period.
