Music-Based Movement Training After Leg Fracture Recovery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether listening to rhythmic music (a technique called rhythmic auditory stimulation) helps young people regain movement and flexibility in their legs after a fracture heals. The goal is to see if music-guided exercises work better than standard rehabilitation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 5 and 18 years old
- You have a closed fracture (break) in your lower leg or thigh bone (tibia, fibula, femur, or ankle) that was treated without surgery—using a cast, splint, or brace instead
- You are 4 to 6 weeks past the fracture and your cast or brace has been removed or you're starting movement exercises
- You can follow instructions and participate in exercise sessions with rhythmic music
- Your doctor has cleared you for physical therapy and you are medically stable
- You do not have hearing loss, cognitive difficulties, or other injuries that would make participation unsafe

This trial tests whether combining corrective exercises with rhythmic music (auditory cues) helps people recover better balance, walking ability, and quality of life after a stroke. The goal is to see if music-guided movement improves recovery more than exercise alone.
This study compares two types of movement practice for people recovering from a recent stroke. One group will do everyday tasks like walking and reaching, and the other will do the same movements but with a rhythmic beat to help with timing and coordination.
This study tests if adding rhythmic music or sounds to special balance and stability exercises helps people recover better from a mild to moderate lateral ankle sprain (an injury to the outer side of the ankle). It may be a good option if your ankle sprain happened 2 to 8 weeks ago and you haven't had ankle surgery before.
This study tests whether listening to rhythmic music can help people with spinal cord injury walk more smoothly. You will walk while wearing special headphones that play music timed to your steps.
This study tests whether listening to rhythmic music while walking at home can improve balance, mobility, and daily life after a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury.
This study tests if adding gentle vibration to standard rehab helps older adults recover better after hip fracture surgery. You may qualify if you are 75 or older and recently had surgery for a broken hip.
