Effect of Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation(RAS) on Turning in Post-stroke Patients

"The study involved an experimental group that underwent a 6-week turning-based training with rhythmic auditory stimulation (TBST-RAS), performed three times a week on alternate days. The purpose was to improve motor control and walking abilities through rhythmic auditory cues, specifically adjusting the metronome's beat to the patient's cadence.~Week 1: Patients performed turning exercises around a cone and walking with visual cues at 5% rhythmic auditory cue intensity, with rest periods.~Weeks 2-3: The intensity of rhythmic auditory cues increased to 10%, and patients engaged in cone turning, figure-of-eight walking, and walking with visual cues, with rest breaks in between.~Weeks 4-5: Rhythmic auditory cue intensity increased to 15%. Exercises included cone turning, figure-of-eight walking, walking with visual cues, multidirectional stepping, and rest periods.~Week 6: The final week involved exercises with a further increase in rhythmic auditory cue intensity to 20%.

"The control group underwent 6 weeks of turning-based specific training without rhythmic auditory stimulation (TBST), performed three times a week on alternate days. The training followed this pattern:~Week 1: Patients began with cone turning for 5 minutes, followed by 2 minutes of rest. Then, they walked with visual cues for 5 minutes, also without rhythmic auditory stimulation.~Weeks 2-3: The exercises continued with cone turning and figure-of-eight walking for 5 minutes each, with 2-minute rest periods in between. Patients also walked with visual cues for 5 minutes without RAS.~Weeks 4-5: The exercises included cone turning, figure-of-eight walking, walking with visual cues, and multidirectional stepping (forward, backward, laterally), all for 5 minutes each, with rest periods between exercises.~Week 6: In the final week, the duration of cone turning and figure-of-eight walking was reduced to 3 minutes, but the exercises still had 2-minute rest periods in between. Patients also p"
