Abstract:

Objective To systematically review the effect of rhythmic auditory stimulation on gait of patients with cerebral palsy.

Methods Relevant literature on gait improvement of patient with cerebral palsy by rhythmic auditory stimulation were retrieved from Web of Science, PubMed, EBSCO, CNKI and Wanfang database from establishment to December, 2022. Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the articles, and the relevant data was extracted. A systematic review was conducted.

Results A total of 1 339 literatures were retrieved, and ten were finally included. The patients mainly came from America, Egypt, Israel, South Korea and Greece. The intervention sites were mainly in hospitals and communities, and some patients received home-based intervention. The publication date was mainly after 2010. Adding rhythmic auditory stimulation on the basis of conventional rehabilitation training increased the range of motion of the joints of patients with cerebral palsy; improved the walking speed, step length and stride length; improved the movement mode, and enhanced the intervention effect of gait training.

Conclusion Rhythmic auditory stimulation is effective on the range of motion, walking speed, step length and stride length of patient with spastic cerebral palsy, which can improve gait.

Key words: cerebral palsy, rhythmic auditory stimulation, gait, systematic review
