Title:	Differential effects of rhythmic auditory stimulation and neurodevelopmental treatment/Bobath on gait patterns in adults with cerebral palsy: a randomized controlled trial.
Authors:	Kim, Soo Ji, Kwak, Eunmi E, Park, Eun Sook, Cho, Sung-Rae
Source:	Clinical Rehabilitation. Oct2012, Vol. 26 Issue 10, p904-914. 11p. 1 Diagram, 5 Charts, 1 Graph.
Subjects:	Cerebral palsy treatment, Physical therapy, Gait disorder treatment, Gait in humans, Kinematics, T-test (Statistics), U-statistics, Randomized controlled trials, Repeated measures design, Motion capture (Human mechanics), Data analysis software, Descriptive statistics, Acoustic stimulation
Abstract:	The article reports a study which investigated the effects of rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) on gait patterns in comparison with changes after neurodevelopmental treatment in adults with cerebral palsy. The results revealed that RAS significantly improved cadence, and walking velocity whereas neurodevelopmental treatment did not show the same improvements of temporal measures. The results indicate that there are differential effects of RAS and neurodevelopmental treatment.
