| Abstract | In a walking rehabilitation, the cooperative walking between therapist and patient is implemented and the synchrony of walking rhythm is often observed. So, we suggest that the interpersonal synchrony is important for walking rehabilitation. Our group has proposed gait assistive system using interactive rhythmic auditory stimulation to emulate interpersonal synchrony. It is called “Walk-Mate”. In the previous study, the improvement effects of walking with the fixed-tempo Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS) and Walk-Mate were compared. As a result, walking with Walk-Mate had 1/f structure and was more effective than walking with RAS. In this study, the emulated interpersonal cooperative walking between human and auditory stimulation was analyzed to investigate the relationship between synchrony and gait improvement effect. Fixed-tempo RAS were compared to Walk-Mate. Twenty PD patients and 18 younger healthy persons were participated in experiments. We showed that the phase difference with Walk-Mate was less variable and more temporally-stable than with RAS. It meant the walking with Walk-Mate has the higher synchrony than with RAS. The combination of the result and previous result indicates that the synchrony between participants and auditory stimulation were related to the gait dynamics of participants' stride time. In addition, the PD patients showed the lower synchrony than young healthy people. Therefore, we suggest that it is necessary that the auditory system encourage them to synchronize. We suggested the importance of considering the synchrony in rehabilitation for PD patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
