Effects of Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation on Range of Motion in Post- Fracture Rehabilitation of Lower Limb

Effects of Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation on Pain and Range of Motion in Children With Post- Fracture Rehabilitation of Lower Limb

Sponsor

Riphah International University

Enrollment

17 participants

Start Date

Apr 1, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Fracture of Lower Limb

Summary

This study aims to investigate the effects of rhythmic auditory stimulation on pain levels and range of motion in children undergoing post-fracture rehabilitation of the lower limb. It seeks to determine whether incorporating rhythmic auditory cues can help reduce pain and improve joint mobility during the recovery process.

Eligibility

Min Age: 5 YearsMax Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria8

  • Age range typically 5 to18 years
  • Closed lower limb fracture (tibia, fibula, femur, ankle) treated non-surgically with immobilization (e.g., cast, splint, brace)
  • Patients in rehabilitation stage (not immediate post-op trauma care)
  • Sub-acute or post-casting phase where active ROM and gait training are clinically indicated
  • Post-Fracture Stage: Within 4-6 weeks post-fracture
  • Ability to Participate
  • Able to follow instructions and participate in RAS sessions
  • Medically stable and cleared for physical therapy.

Exclusion Criteria6

  • Acute emergency management studies
  • Presence of multiple fractures or other significant injuries.
  • Known hearing impairments that may affect response to auditory stimulation.
  • Presence of cognitive or neurological impairments that may affect participation.
  • Pre-existing chronic pain conditions that may confound pain assessments.
  • Recent surgeries or medical conditions that may contraindicate physical therapy or RAS.

Interventions

OTHERRhythmic Auditory Stimulation

The intervention involves applying Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS) through structured rhythmic cues or music during rehabilitation sessions alongside standard physiotherapy for children with lower limb fractures. These rhythmic cues are synchronized with movement exercises to help reduce pain perception and enhance joint range of motion during recovery.
