Music-powered neurorecovery for chronic stroke walking impairment.
Unfortunately, many people hear that continued progress after being discharged from the hospital is unlikely. That is not true.
On average, people who used InTandem were 8 1/2 years post-stroke.
Rapid Improvement.
No Plateaus.
InTandem users improved significantly on walking speed when compared to an active control arm. Plus, InTandem users improved throughout the period of use.
22% Improvement in Walking Speed
As assessed by 10MWT
Significant Improvement in Stride Length & Cadence
Enabled by better quality of gait features
48% of Users Become Community Ambulators
Defined as >0.8m/s walking speed
Meet InTandem
A prescription-only, use-at-home medical device harnessing the neuroscience of music.
Easy to set up. Easy to use.
InTandem includes shoe-worn sensors (one for each shoe), a touchscreen control unit preloaded with InTandem software, a headset, and charging cables.
To start a session, the user puts on the components and then selects a music playlist.
InTandem ships directly to the patient. All the components are inside the box.

InTandem ships directly to the patient. All the components are included and automatically connect to one-another.
Unlock the potential of neuroplasticity.
Clinicians and researchers leverage AME as part of an evidence-based intervention called “rhythmic auditory stimulation” for a broad range of stroke-related walking impairments.
The Intervention & Mechanism of Action
Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS)
RAS is a neurologic music therapy intervention to improve gait that has been studied for over three decades.
RAS leverages our brains subconscious ability to synchronize the motor and auditory systems — a phenomenon knowns as auditory-motor entrainment.
The predictable, stable beat of music helps our brains coordinate movement for better and easier walking.
Harnessing the power in the musical beat
More than a playlist.
Pre-screened for therapeutic benefit
Based on an established protocol
Personalized, responsive cueing
