Chronic & Acute Stroke

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Parkinson's Disease (PD)

Functional Neurologic Disease

"One Small Step for Man..."

Patient clips sensors onto shoes, puts headphones over ears, and starts a session

 Sensors collect baseline gait data

Our patented algorithms continuously receive real-time gait data from sensors to curate, augment, and individualize clinical interventions for each patient in real-time based on that user’s data.

Patient listens to the music and walks to the beat.

The algorithms constantly assess the user’s entrainment ability and quality of walking, and provide auditory stimuli to progress them toward an objective clinical goal.

The Healing Power of Music

Neurologic Music Therapy

Neurologic Music Therapy (“NMT”) is an effective form of rehabilitative care supported by over 30 years of clinical research.  NMT is a broad term used for a range of interventions that include music or rhythmic elements to improve gait, mobility, and function.

One type of NMT that is particularly effective for people with brain injuries and degenerative diseases is Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (“RAS”). During RAS, you listen to a rhythmic stimulus, like music. The rhythm engages both the auditory and motor systems your brain.

The synchronization of these two systems in the brain can support structural changes to the brain via neuroplasticity. These have been shown to support people with walking difficulties and common gait challenges.

The MedRhythms Pipeline

MedRhythms has a robust pipeline of novel, next-generation digital therapeutics in active development. We aim to bring these solutions to a wide range of patients living with neurologic impairments and walking difficulties that can be improved through auditory-motor entrainment.

Person Walking with a Rollator Orange Ground MS Stroke Multiple Sclerosis Parkinson's Disease
  • 3 out of 4 people with multiple sclerosis experience clinically significant walking disturbances
  • These walking disturbances may even show up even in early stages of the disease and in people with otherwise mild disease impact
  • Mobility is a key concern for people with MS. In fast, 65% of people rated is as the top factor affecting activities of daily living

Common gait challenges associated with PD:

  • Stooped posture
  • Freezing of gait (FOG)
    • Impacts roughtly 50% of people with PD
  • Shuffling steps
  • Festination
    • An involuntary shortening of stride and increase in step cadence

Read the meta-analysis

  • 80% of people experience walking difficulties following a stroke
  • 25% of people experience residual gait impairment following a stroke 

Typical changes to gait pattern include:

  • Decreased walking speed
  • Shorter stride length
  • Decreased stance phase
