Application of step and beat alignment approaches and its effect on gait in progressive multiple sclerosis with severe cerebellar ataxia: A proof of concept case study

In a case report of a progressive multiple sclerosis with cerebellar impairments, we reported that synchronisation of steps to beats was possible only at -12% of usual walking cadence during 1 minute of walking.Here, we investigate the effect of synchronisation using two different alignment approaches on the patient's gait pattern over 2 minutes of walking, compared to walking in silence.This proof of concept showed that the adaptive approach...
