Sonification Embodied Associations

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Multiple Sclerosis
• Interventions: Other: learning and recall of a sequence of body movements

• Registration Number: NCT03931278
• Lead Sponsor: Hasselt University

Brief Summary

The objective of this study to investigate, if learning and recall of a sequence of body movements (steps that realize a pattern on the ground) can be improved by self-produced music (having particular melodic-structures in relation to the pattern), compared to the same sound (a single tone) for each pattern in persons with multiple sclerosis compared to age and gender matched controls

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
persons with Multiple Sclerosis (MS)	learning and recall of a sequence of body movements	-
Healthy controls	learning and recall of a sequence of body movements	-

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
accuracy	week 1	Number of correct sequences uttered, total number of sequences, precisions prior to completing three correct trials.
precision	week 1	Number of correct sequences uttered, total number of sequences, precisions prior to completing three correct trials.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Inter Stride intervals	week 1	The technology used can log time data. Therefore, the inter stride intervals can be calculated from the logged data.
Inter Step intervals	week 1	The technology used can log time data. Therefore, the inter-step intervals can be calculated from the logged data.
step duration on the tile	week 1	The technology used can log time data. Therefore, the total time that each foot is placed on the tiles can be derived.
