Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study focuses on Dual Task Training as daily living involves many dual task conditions, in which a person requires to do two or more tasks at same time. without the ability to carry out these types of Dual movements. This study aims to improve the ability to do two tasks at same time, targeted to decrease the risk of fall in stroke patients. This study helps in understanding how multiple tasks simultaneously affects patients' abilities and creating effectiveness programs.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines the stroke as a brain injury that causes rapid and noticeable changes in cerebral function, lasting 24 hours or longer, or resulting in death. Strokes can be caused by vascular issues and include cerebral infarction, intracerebral hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Stroke is a syndrome characterized by acute neurological deficits caused by vascular injury in the central nervous system. It's a major cause of disability and mortality globally, resulting from various risk factors, diseases, and mechanisms. Dual-task training refers to the ability to simultaneously perform multiple cognitive and motor activities while maintaining postural control. Divided attention is the capacity to do more than one thing at the same time. Dual-task training innovatively combines motor and cognitive rehabilitation in a comprehensive module. TST, or task-specific training, is a popular rehab approach that emphasizes function and is commonly used for stroke patients. It's all about targeting specific tasks to help with recovery.

RCT conducted on two groups, Dual Task Training and Task Specific training. interventions applied with a frequency of three times a week for eight weeks protocol. Participants will be divided into 2 groups. 1st group will receive Dual task training for motor and cognition simultaneously. 2nd group will receive task specific training for motor and cognition functioning.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Dual Task Training

Dual task exercises for example Crossing over the obstacles placed on their path while answering simple questions "yes" or "no" Walking while bouncing the ball with spell the word like WORLD Picking up an object from the floor. Walking on straight line while Calculation. Tandem walk while counting money

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Dual Task Training

Intervention Type OTHER

Exercise which combines cognitive task with motor task e.g Backward counting during sit ups.

Calculation questions during stationary cycle for 10 mins. Sequentially perform movements on commands like normal standing (bipedal support with feet separated at shoulder width, Feet together (bipedal support with feet side by side), Semitandem stance, Tandem stance, one leg support on the dominant leg, one leg support on the nondominant leg by first laterally moving the trunk with shoulder abducted at least above 60 degree

Task Specific Training

Picking up the card, Picking up the right color, Box and block activity, Picking up different shapes, Gait training, Sit/ standing marching.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Task Specific Training

Intervention Type OTHER

Wide based gait training.

Auditory forward digit span:

Remember as many as possible of the number/letter forward sequence, you were told

Auditory backward digit span:

Remember as many as possible of the number/letter back sequence, you were told

Visual forward digit span:

Remember as many as possible of the number forward sequence shown to you by means of cardboard

Visual backward digit span:

Remember as many as possible
