Paolo Bonato, PhD (pictured) is part of a multi-center team that led a landmark trial testing the efficacy and safety of a music-based neurorehabilitation system to improve walking following a stroke. Walking poses a significant challenge for up to 85 percent of stroke survivors. The team’s findings showed that patients who used the trial’s InTandem™ system (which used sensors, software, and music to provide personalized cues to support and progressively improve the cadence of walking) were three times more likely to respond to treatment and made improvements in walking speed and gait quality compared with those who underwent rehabilitation without the system.

Combining research and patient care is what sets us apart. The Campaign for Spaulding Research Institute (2016-2022) was a groundbreaking philanthropic effort that established a focused rehabilitation research enterprise — the Schoen Adams Research Institute at Spaulding Rehabilitation. Thank you to our generous supporters for making this work possible!
