Effects of Task-Oriented Training With and Without Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation on Lower Limb Motor Function, Dynamic Balance, Proprioception, Motivation, and Adherence in Post-Stroke Patients

Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide. Among survivors, limitations in lower limb motor function, balance, and proprioception significantly affect their independence and quality of life. There is a growing need for targeted rehabilitation strategies for stroke survivors, who often experience lower limb impairments that limit independence during a highly active stage of life. Task-oriented training (TOT) helps patients practice real-life movements, while rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS), such as metronome beats, can guide and improve their timing and coordination.
