Can the BeatMove Device Help Patients With Obliterative Arterial Disease of the Lower Limbs?

Recruiting now · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Atheromatous, Lower Limb Ischemia, Artery Disease

In brief

Vascular rehabilitation for arteriopathy of the lower limbs remains little known in France, despite its good results. There are very few rehabilitation centres, and they are overcrowded and expensive. Outpatient walking rehabilitation is under-used, despite recommendations (4). One of the difficulties is getting patients to adhere to the treatment sufficiently and for a long time. According to the Fédération Française de Musicothérapie (FFM), this is a care practice based on sound or musical mediation with the aim of supporting, accompanying or re-educating a patient. Music is used as a means of expression, communication, structuring and relational analysis.The benefits of music therapy for our bodies and our behavior are numerous, including improvements in cognitive functions (attention, memory), psychomotor functions (agility, mobility, coordination) and social-emotional functions (healthymind website 10/03/2021).
