A review of concurrent sonified biofeedback in balance and gait training.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sonified biofeedback is a subtype of auditory biofeedback that conveys biological data through specific non-verbal sounds. It can be designed to provide augmented biomechanical feedback in near-real-time when provided as "concurrent" biofeedback. As a practice that developed spanning across engineering and the arts, sonified biofeedback can extend beyond simple tones and beeps, towards more fully incorporating music in movement training. Sonified biofeedback may leverage the motivational aspects of music in movement training, the neuroplasticity benefits demonstrated from participation in music-based interventions, and neurological auditory-motor coupling, all while providing task-relevant cues to facilitate motor (re)learning. Sonified biofeedback may also provide simil
