This study examined the effects of backward walking with rhythmic auditory stimulation on the gait and balance of stroke patients. Twenty-one people were divided randomly into three groups; group Ⅰ(n=7, forward walking), group Ⅱ(n=7, backward walking), group Ⅲ(n=7, backward walking by rhythmic auditory stimulation). Each group was trained for 30 minutes 5 times per week for 3 weeks, and was evaluated using a 10m walking test, time up and go test, functional reach test, stride length and step length asymmetry ratio. As a result, the pre- to post-test measures revealed a significant effect in each group on the gait speed, gait symmetry and balance(p<.05). The walking speed, gait symmetry and balance were higher in group Ⅱ (p<.05) than in groupⅠ and it was the highest in group Ⅲ(p<.05). The stride length was higher in group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ(p<.05) than in group Ⅰ. In conclusion, for stroke patients, backward walking training with rhythmic auditory stimulation is effective on the gait speed, gait symmetry and balance.
