Abstract
A method and system for rehabilitation of a patient having a physical impairment by providing repetitive motion therapy is disclosed. The system is configured to receive biomechanical data from the patient regarding repetitive movements of the patient performed using a first and second side of the body, respectively, and select, based on the data, an entrainment side according to which repetitive motion therapy is provided. The system further performs repetitive motion therapy by: providing the patient auditory stimulus comprising beat signals output at respective beat times; receiving time-stamped biomechanical data for repetitive movements performed by the patient using the entrainment side in relation to the respective beat times of the beat signals; calculating an entrainment potential for the entrainment side by comparing a timing of the repetitive movements to the timing of the beat signals; and modifying the auditory stimulus as a function of the calculated entrainment potential.
