Background: Rhythmic auditory stimulation and body weight supported treadmill training both are standardized gait rehabilitation techniques. However there is limited literature evaluating the effect of rhythmic auditory stimulation and its combination with gait training in spinal cord injury. Aim of this study is to determine the short term effectiveness of rhythmic auditory stimulation with body weight supported treadmill training on gait and balance in individuals with incomplete Spinal Cord Injury. Method: A randomized control study design. 8 subjects with incomplete spinal cord injury who met the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated into two groups: Experimental and Control. Subjects in experimental group were given body weight supported treadmill training with rhythmic auditory stimulation. Subjects in Control Group were given Body weight supported treadmill training alone. Both the groups received conventional rehabilitation as well. Both groups received training for 30 minutes, five times a week for two weeks (10 sessions). Outcome Measures: Gait parameters i.e. cadence, velocity, step length were measured using the Biodex Gait Trainer 2TM, level of walking performance measured using Walking Index for Spinal Cord Injury II, and balance was evaluated using Prokin 252NTM , Berg Balance Scale, and Activity specific Balance Confidence scale. Results: No significant improvement was found on gait parameters i.e. cadence, velocity, step length which were measured using the Gait Trainer, level of walking performance measured using WISCI II, and balance which was evaluated using Prokin 252NTM , Berg Balance Scale, and Activity specific Balance Confidence scale. Conclusion: Rhythmic auditory stimulation didn’t have any positive effect on gait training in incomplete spinal cord injured patients. Further studies are warranted to explore the entrainment effects of rhythmic auditory stimulation in spinal cord injured individuals on gait rehabilitation.

Objetivo. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre o uso do treino locomotor em pacientes portadores de lesão medular incompleta, a fim de verificar os seus efeitos para a marcha destes pacientes. Método. Foi realizada uma busca utilizando os bancos de dados medline, scielo e bvs a partir dos descritores: body weight-support treadmill training (suporte parcial de peso com treinamento em esteira), locomotor training (treino locomotor), spinal cord injury (lesão medular), gait (marcha). Todos os artigos coletados nos últimos 18 anos foram analisados. Discussão. A lesão medular é uma grave síndrome neurológica que causa diversos comprometimentos, inclusive da marcha. Para aperfeiçoar este processo, deu-se início à prática de reabilitação na esteira com suporte de peso corporal. A ampla utilização desta técnica de reabilitação deve-se a maior facilidade para o treino da marcha, a satisfação dos pacientes durante o tratamento e, principalmente, aos bons resultados gerados. Conclusão. Um número significante de estudos mostrou que o treino de marcha com suporte de peso corporal é um meio seguro e confiável, e que surgiu para inovar a reabilitação funcional da marcha. Não há evidência científica para afirmar que o treino locomotor com suporte de peso seja um método superior a outras terapias.
