There are numerous trials, showing positive results for using the music therapy for stroke patient rehabilitation. Therefore, summarizing the data from these trials is an actual topic. The objective, of this research, was to summarize the data from trials about the use of music therapy methods and techniques, especially the rhythmic auditory stimulation, for improving of the motor functions for stroke patients, by creating a systematic review of randomized controlled trials, with meta-analysis. The trials where searched in MEDLINE, Cochrane Trial Register and EBSO databases. The trial quality was evaluated by the PEDro scale. 20 randomized controlled trials were included in the systematic review. The meta-analysis for 5 gait outcomes, including gait speed, steps per minute, step length, gait symmetry, Time up and go test, and 7 arm function outcomes, including Fugl-Meyer test, ARAT test, Box and blocks test, Wolf motor function test, Nine hole peg test, shoulder flexion, elbow extension, was conducted. According to the results of the meta-analysis, gait exercises, combined with rhythmic auditory stimulation, provide statistically significant improvement, compared with gait exercises alone. Concerning the use of rhythmic auditory stimulation and other music therapy interventions for arm function rehabilitation, a statistically significant improvement was not detected.

Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of gait training with bilateral rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) on lower extremity rehabilitation in stroke patients. Forty-four participants (<6 months after stroke) were randomly allocated to the gait training with bilateral rhythmic auditory stimulation (GTBR) group (n = 23) and the control group (n = 21). The GTBR group had gait training with bilateral RAS for 30 min a day, 5 days a week, in a 6-week period, in addition to conventional therapy. The control group had gait training without RAS, and conventional therapy. Outcome measures included gait symmetry, gait ability, balance ability, and lower extremity function. Gait symmetry on step time showed significant improvements compared to baseline (p < 0.05) in the GTBR group, but not in the control group. Gait ability was significantly improved in both groups relative to baseline values (p < 0.05), and the GTBR group showed significantly greater improvement in comparison to the control group (p < 0.05). Both groups showed significant improvements in the Timed Up and Go test (TUG), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and Fugl–Meyer Assessment (FMA) compared to baseline (p < 0.05). GTBR is an effective therapeutic method of improving symmetric gait in stroke rehabilitation. Moreover, we found that GTBR beat frequency matching fast step time might be even more beneficial in improving gait symmetry. Future studies may develop a method of applying RAS on step time and length for improvement of gait symmetry in stroke patients.
