Systems and methods for neurologic rehabilitation

A system for rehabilitation of a patient having a physical impairment by providing music therapy during a therapy session in which the patient is provided music having beat signals at a beat tempo, the beat signals each being output at a respective output time, and in which the patient performs repetitive movements in time with the beat signals, the system comprising

• a computer system having one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
• receive time-stamped biomechanical data of the patient and time-stamped beat signals, wherein time-stamped biomechanical data relates to each repetitive movement performed by the patient in relation to one of the beat signals, wherein the biomechanical data is measured using a sensor associated with the patient, and wherein the received time-stamped beat signals represent the respective output time of the beat signals;
• analyze the time-stamped biomechanical data to identify an onset time of one of more of the repetitive movements;
• determine, for each of the one or more repetitive movements, a delay between the identified onset time and the respective output time of the beat signal;
• calculate an entrainment parameter based on the measured delay;
• provide instructions to modify the music based on the entrainment parameter.

A method for rehabilitation of a patient having a physical impairment by providing rhythmic audio therapy, the method being implemented during a therapy session in which a patient is provided rhythmic audio content having beat signals at a beat tempo, the beat signals each being output at a respective output time, and in which the patient attempts to repeatedly perform a repetitive movement in time with the beat signals, the method being implemented on a computer system having a processor configured by machine-readable instructions which, when executed perform the method, comprising:

• receiving time-stamped biomechanical data of the patient relating to the repetitive movements performed by the patient, wherein each repetitive movement is performed in relation to an associated beat signal among the beat signals, and wherein the biomechanical data is measured using a sensor;
• determining, based on the time-stamped biomedical data and the output times of the associated beat signals, a temporal relationship between each repetitive movement and its associated beat signal, respectively;
• calculating an entrainment parameter based on the temporal relationship respectively determined for one or more of the repetitive movements;
• and
• modifying the rhythmic audio content being output to the patient based on the determined entrainment parameter.
