Trial Outcomes & Findings for Does Increasing Auditory Cueing Affect Gait Parameters in Children With Cerebral Palsy During a Functional Task? (NCT NCT02666560)
NCT ID: NCT02666560
Last Updated: 2016-08-31
Results Overview
The Gaitrite is a portable gait analysis walk-way system that enables the temprospatial measures of gait to be recorded. The temprospatial measure of length was recorded in centimetres.

Participant Flow
Recruitment occurred at an NHS FoundationTrust between March to April 2015. Twenty-six children with Cerebral Palsy who were currently on the paediatric physiotherapy caseload met the inclusion criteria, so were invited to participate. A total of nineteen children chose to participate in this research project.
Participant milestones
| Measure |
Cueing Self Paced Then Cueing 20% Above Self Paced Cadence
Participants performed a functional task with auditory cueing set at self paced cadence. Five days following participants performed a functional task with auditory cueing set at 20% above self paced cadence.
Auditory Cueing: This was was delivered by a metronome, which was set at a beat frequency rate that matched the participant's baseline cadence or 20% above baseline cadence.
|
Cueing at 20% Above Self Paced Cadence Then Self Based Cadence
Participants performed a functional task with auditory cueing set at 20% above self paced cadence. Five days following participants performed a functional task with auditory cueing set at self paced cadence.
Auditory Cueing: This was delivered by a metronome, which was set at a beat frequency rate 20% above baseline cadence or that matched the participant's baseline cadence.

All Study Participants
n=19 Participants
Participants performed a functional task with auditory cueing set at self paced cadence and 20% above self paced cadence.
Auditory Cueing: This was delivered by a metronome producing a beat which was set at the participant's baseline cadence or 20% above baseline cadence.
This was a crossover design where participants completed both arms in the trial.
