Below are two sample biofeedback screens from a gait training session with music therapy:

Figure 9.11. Histograms are displayed for Music Therapy including the music tempo

Each song in the Music Library has an identifiable BPM. During therapy, the tempo is typically
increased in increments of 10% but clinicians may adjust belt speed and music at any time to
better fit the patient's need and therapy targets (i.e., getting the patient out of a shuffling gait
into a long stride). Compositions such as "Animals Everywhere" (70/80/90bpm) offer a bass line
at half tempo for the clinician to cue slowed, long strides without having to adjust the tempo.
As a result, the therapist must only make slight belt speed (walking cadence) adjustments until
the patient relaxes into a more open gait pattern according to Patterned Sensory Enhancement
(PSE) strategies.
