PURPOSE: After practice, augmented feedback is the most important factor that facilitates motor learning. We assess the potential effectiveness of two types of augmented auditory feedback on the re-learning of arm reaching in individuals with @entity64 : (a) real-time knowledge of performance (KP) feedback and (b) rhythmic cueing in the form of knowledge of results (KR) feedback. METHOD: Five @entity1 with @entity64 underwent short-term practice, reaching with their affected arm with KP, KR and no feedback, on separate days. We assessed range of motion of the upper extremity (shoulder, elbow) and trunk, mean error and variability of the performed trajectory, and movement time, before and after training. RESULTS: All @entity1 benefitted from practice with feedback, though the effects varied across @entity1 and feedback type. In three @entity1 , KP feedback increased elbow extension and reduced compensatory trunk flexion. In four @entity1 , KR feedback reduced movement time taken to perform the reach. Of note, one @entity1 benefitted mostly from KP feedback, which increased shoulder flexion and elbow extension, and decreased compensatory trunk flexion and mean error. CONCLUSIONS: Within day practice with @entity2167 reaching in individuals with @entity64 . This warrants further investigation with longer practice periods in a larger sample size. Implications for Rehabilitation After practice, augmented feedback is the second most important factor that facilitates motor learning. Music-based augmented auditory feedback has potential to enhance reaching abilities in individuals with @entity64 . Future studies are warranted to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of this feedback over a longer training period in a larger sample size.
