184 MusiGAIT in progress

Co-design of a musical feedback system to correct gait patterns

Intervention area

Mobility

Start date

September 1, 2024

End date

September 30, 2025

MusiGAIT, a musical and visual feedback system, will be co-developed by researchers, clinicians, and a patient partner with the aim of correcting the gait of children with cerebral palsy. This approach will allow the patient to become aware of their movement through music, so the patient’s body becomes like a conductor’s baton controlling the music. The deliverables of this project will be: 1) co-development of MusiGAIT software, and 2) evaluation of the usability and integration of the tool in clinical settings.
