About this trial

This randomized crossover study will investigate the acute effects of different music tempi on static balance, dynamic balance, and ankle proprioception in healthy young adults. Participants will complete three experimental conditions: slow-tempo music, fast-tempo music, and a no-music control condition. Balance and ankle joint position sense will be assessed under each condition. The study will compare the outcomes across the three conditions to determine whether different musical tempi are associated with changes in balance and ankle proprioceptive performance.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Slow-tempo music

    Behavioral

    Participants will listen to slow-tempo music during the assigned experimental condition. Static balance, dynamic balance, and ankle joint position sense will be assessed under this condition.

  • Fast-tempo music

    Behavioral

    Participants will listen to fast-tempo music during the assigned experimental condition. Static balance, dynamic balance, and ankle joint position sense will be assessed under this condition.

  • No music

    Behavioral

    Participants will complete the assigned experimental condition without music. Static balance, dynamic balance, and ankle joint position sense will be assessed under this condition.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Static Balance - Single-Leg Stance Test Using the phyphox Smartphone Application

Static balance will be assessed using the Single-Leg Stance Test with a smartphone running the phyphox application.

Time frame
During each intervention condition
2

Dynamic Balance - Four Square Step Test (FSST) Completion Time

Dynamic balance will be assessed using the Four Square Step Test (FSST), with the completion time recorded as the participant steps through the four squares in different directions.

Time frame
During each intervention condition
3

Ankle Proprioception - Ankle Joint Position Sense (JPS) Test

Ankle proprioception will be assessed using the Ankle Joint Position Sense (JPS) test by measuring the participant's ability to reproduce a predetermined ankle joint position.
