Clinical Trial 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

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	accuracy	Number of correct sequences uttered, total number of sequences, precisions prior to completing three correct trials.	week 1
Primary	precision	Number of correct sequences uttered, total number of sequences, precisions prior to completing three correct trials.	week 1
Secondary	Inter Step intervals	The technology used can log time data. Therefore, the inter-step intervals can be calculated from the logged data.	week 1
Secondary	Inter Stride intervals	The technology used can log time data. Therefore, the inter stride intervals can be calculated from the logged data.	week 1
Secondary	step duration on the tile	The technology used can log time data. Therefore, the total time that each foot is placed on the tiles can be derived.	week 1
