Walking pace for cane users

 



Hi fellow O&m
Iam doing a personal learning development for work this year.?
I was wondering if you guys could have me with my research.

I have currently used a metronome to study ?beats per mins ? Walking pace ?with there cane my students between range between ?6-18yrs ?
Interesting finding?
No matter blind or low vision?
The slowest pace was 64 beats per min?
Fastest was 88 beats per mins (blind)
My students tend to use constant contact Iam trying to see if they start to use two point touch if they would be faster

Iam trying to find the beats per mins for adults.?

Can you guys help me test out the beats per mins ?using a metronome for adults ??

I need to know if they are blind or low vision and cane technique?

My outcome is to see my students ?to walk faster by increasing the beats permit then to link to music to see if they can help increase speed?

Thank you so much?



Cheers

Hi, Alana -?
I'm a COMS and a music therapist - and I will say that rhythm entrainment and gait training is very common, and there's a lot of research out there. Most has to do with neurological impairment. If you're interested, you might want to check out more about , , and gait training in music therapy. I love how it's all connected!
