Detailed Description

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

A stroke is a neurological disorder in which clots or ruptured vessels obstruct blood vessels, causing abnormal blood flow in the brain. This may lead to the unexpected death of brain cells and aggravate illnesses like depression and dementia.It is a disease with significant health and social consequences because of its high frequency and rate. Stroke is thought to affect 9.2% of the population in Europe, with a rate of 191.9 per 100,000 people annually. According to estimates, between 25 and 74% of those who survive this illness need assistance or become totally reliant on their everyday activities.The primary long-term effects of a stroke are dysphagia, paralysis, motor impairments, cognitive decline, and speech difficulties.

Dual-task training entails doing a motor task and a cognitive task at the same time. This method's justification is that a lot of daily tasks necessitate multitasking, and dual-task training can improve both cognitive and motor abilities by promoting brain plasticity and the interaction of the two systems. In the dual task training, cognitive task (like naming animals or counting backwards) is combined with a lower limb strengthening exercise called wall squats. Both tasks gradually increase in difficulty and intensity based on how well each person performs. By testing the muscle strength, endurance, and coordination of stroke survivors as well as their attention, memory, and executive function, this training seeks to improve their cognitive abilities, balance, and functional mobility.

Study Groups

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

combining progressive wall squats with cognitive training

Group A will receive dual-task intervention (combining progressive wall squats with cognitive training) along with routine rehabilitation. The group will undergo 45 minute treatment session three times per week over an eight weeks period, focusing on gradually intensifying the progressive wall squat exercises with careful supervision to ensure safety and proper form along with cognitive tasks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Group A

Intervention Type OTHER

Progressive wall squat exercises will commence with a knee flexion angle of 135°, instructed to hold this position for 20 seconds, exercise progresses, the knee joint angle will be decreased by 10° until reaching the 95° stage or until participants can no longer maintain the knee joint angle within 5° of the target value due to volitional fatigue. Cognitive tasks during the intervention, including the recall of words and counting forward (1, 4, 7, 10...) and backward (...10, 7, 4, 1) by adding 3 to the digits. Sustained stretching (with a hold time of 10 seconds per stretch, totaling 10 repetitions per session) and active range of motion exercises (10 repetitions per session) targeting both the upper and lower extremities in routine rehabilitation.

progressive wall squats

Group B will receive single-task intervention (involving progressive wall squats) along with routine rehabilitation. A routine rehabilitation comprising slow sustained stretching (with a hold time of 10 seconds per stretch, totaling 10 repetitions per session) and active range of motion exercises (10 repetitions per session) targeting both the upper and lower extremities. The group will undergo 45 minute treatment session three times per week over an eight weeks period.
