Each participant will walk along a wide unobstructed 10-m walkway at preferred speed with the possibility to use a uniform walking aid when needed, based on this each participant’s cadence will be cal

Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation is a neurologic technique used to facilitate the rehabilitation of movements that are intrinsically biologically rhythmical, most importantly gait. RAS uses the physiolog
