“…These systems comprise of interactive shoes with embedded sensors that collect gait information (e.g., cadence, velocity, stride length), which are then used to trigger auditory cueing stimuli to inform both the therapist and the patient about the user’s current state. Recently, Gorgas et al (2017) tested the effect of an instrumented shoe-insole-device for real-time sonification of gait (SONIGait; see also Horsak et al, 2016). This sonification system mapped individual walking characteristics on to musical notes in order to provide gait spatiotemporal information.…”

“…Research findings revealed that real-time auditory feedback facilitates learning and improves retention of new motor skills (e.g., Chollet et al, 1992; Konttinen et al, 2004; Baudry et al, 2006; Ramezanzade et al, 2014; Schaffert and Mattes, 2014; Pizzera et al, 2017). There is growing support for the application of movement sonification to increase upper-limb functions after stroke (e.g., Wallis et al, 2007; Immoos et al, 2013; Schmitz et al, 2014, 2018; Scholz et al, 2015, 2016; Ghai, 2018), and to improve gait in PD patients using, for instance, instrumented footwear (e.g., Batavia et al, 2001; Rodger et al, 2014; Horsak et al, 2016; Maculewicz et al, 2016; Gorgas et al, 2017). These sonification approaches rely on the transformation of dynamic and kinematic movement parameters onto distinct sound components (e.g., pitch, loudness, rhythm, timbre) to increase cross-modal stimulation (Scholz et al, 2015, 2016; Ghai et al, 2018c) and sensorimotor representation of the movement to be (re)learned (Shams and Seitz, 2008; Schmitz et al, 2013; Effenberg et al, 2016).…”

A Review on the Relationship Between Sound and Movement in Sports and Rehabilitation

The role of auditory information on perceptual-motor processes has gained increased interest in sports and psychology research in recent years. Numerous neurobiological and behavioral studies have demonstrated the close interaction between auditory and motor areas of the brain, and the importance of auditory information for movement execution, control, and learning. In applied research, artificially produced acoustic information and real-time auditory information have been implemented in sports and rehabilitation to improve motor performance in athletes, healthy individuals, and patients affected by neurological or movement disorders. However, this research is scattered both across time and scientific disciplines. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview about the interaction between movement and sound and review the current literature regarding the effect of natural movement sounds, movement sonification, and rhythmic auditory information in sports and motor rehabilitation. The focus here is threefold: firstly, we provide an overview of empirical studies using natural movement sounds and movement sonification in sports. Secondly, we review recent clinical and applied studies using rhythmic auditory information and sonification in rehabilitation, addressing in particular studies on Parkinson’s disease and stroke. Thirdly, we summarize current evidence regarding the cognitive mechanisms and neural correlates underlying the processing of auditory information during movement execution and its mental representation. The current state of knowledge here reviewed provides evidence of the feasibility and effectiveness of the application of auditory information to improve movement execution, control, and (re)learning in sports and motor rehabilitation. Findings also corroborate the critical role of auditory information in auditory-motor coupling during motor (re)learning and performance, suggesting that this area of clinical and applied research has a large potential that is yet to be fully explored.

“…Although this technology is available at low cost, the use of microphones attributing to moderate to high costs have generally been used. Force/Pressure sensors are commonly used as motion capture devices in the literature, although none have been recorded for use in an upper-body rehabilitative context, examples of use can be found with performing arts [83] [84], to affect body perception [85]- [87], monitor cycling [70], [71], monitor skiing [88], gait rehabilitative purposes [89]- [92], sports application [93]- [95], or with use as an interface [96]. As the sensor requires compression to result in an electrical resistance change, human motion capture therefore is limited to interaction with a surface, however due to the low cost, and high environmental versatility of the sensor, this remains a popular sensor type for motion capture.…”

Movement sonification is emerging as a useful tool for rehabilitation, with increasing evidence in support of its use. To create such a system requires component considerations outside of typical sonification design choices, such as the dimension of movement to sonify, section of anatomy to track, and methodology of motion capture. This review takes this emerging and highly diverse area of literature and keyword-code existing real-time movement sonification systems, to analyze and highlight current trends in these design choices, as such providing an overview of existing systems. A combination of snowballing through relevant existing reviews and a systematic search of multiple databases were utilized to obtain a list of projects for data extraction. The review categorizes systems into three sections: identifying the link between physical dimension to auditory dimension used in sonification, identifying the target anatomy tracked, identifying the movement tracking system used to monitor the target anatomy. The review proceeds to analyze the systematic mapping of the literature and provide results of the data analysis highlighting common and innovative design choices used, irrespective of application, before discussing the findings in the context of movement rehabilitation. A database containing the mapped keywords assigned to each project are submitted with this review.

“…In particular, real-time sonification of measured data, though rarely tested, seems to be promising. In PD therapy (Gorgas et al, 2017), for instance, sonification of force data captured via insoles proved to be very effective. In this study, sonification of joint angles was tested as a method to control the deficient parameters of gait pattern in orthopedic rehabilitation.…”

Even several years after total hip (THR) and total knee replacement (TKR) surgery patients frequently show deficient gait patterns leading to overloads and relieving postures on the contralateral side or in the spine. Gait training is, in these cases, an essential part of rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to compare different feedback methods during gait training after THR and TKR focusing, in particular, on auditory feedback via sonification. A total of 240 patients after THR and TKR were tested in a pre-post-test design during a 3-week rehabilitation period. Even though sonification did not show, statistically, a clear advantage over other feedback methods, it was well accepted by the patients and seemed to significantly change gait pattern during training. A sudden absence of sonification during training led to a rapid relapse into previous movement patterns, which highlights its effectiveness in breaking highly automated gait patterns. A frequent use of sonification during and after rehabilitation could, hence, reduce overloading after THR and TKR. This may soon be viable, since new technologies, such as inertial measurement units, allow for wearable joint angle measurement devices. Back to normal gait with sonification seems possible.
