Comparative Impact of RAST and TST for Improving Motor Functions in Stroke Patients

Rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) is a therapeutic technique that uses rhythmic auditory cues, like a metronome or music, to improve motor control and coordination. It is often used in rehabilitation for conditions such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, and other movement disorders to enhance gait and other motor functions through the synchronization of movements to auditory rhythms.

Task-specific training is a rehabilitation approach that involves practicing specific tasks or activities to improve the performance of those tasks. It is based on the principle that repetitive practice of functional tasks enhances neuroplasticity, leading to better motor skills and functional recovery, especially in stroke and neurological rehabilitation.
