Effects of RAS on Gait in PD Patients With DBS

"Rhythmic auditory stimulus (RAS) is a Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) technique that utilizes an auditory rhythmic cue to entrain gait to a specific rhythm.~RAS, as an anticipatory time cue, can be used as both an immediate entrainment stimulus, providing rhythmic cues during movement, and as a facilitating stimulus for planning and executing a movement to achieve more functional gait patterns. Cadence, gait velocity, and stride length are the commonly used parameters to monitor changes in a patient's gait."
