Summary

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of dual-task training at impairment, disability, and participation levels for stroke survivors and investigate possible factors affecting cognitive-motor interference (CMI) under dual-task conditions. Specifically, we will compare the immediate and retention effects of dual-task balance training and single-task balance training on CMI, balance confidence, fall rate, functional performance, and quality of life in individuals with stroke (Aim 1). The second aim of this study is to explore how lateralization, stroke chronicity, task type, and task difficulty may influence patterns of CMI (Aim 2). The third aim of this study is to investigate whether dual-task balance assessments are more sensitive than single-balance assessment in distinguishing stroke fallers from stroke non-fallers (Aim 3).

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

single-task balance training

The framework of progressive balance exercises in the single-task training will include body stability tasks (Stance activities), transitional activities (Sit to stand and walk), and body transfer tasks (Gait activities). These exercises target various systems for balance control, such as stability limits (standing with changes in base of support and weight shifting), sensory orientation (standing on compliant surfaces with eyes open and eyes closed), postural responses (reactions to balance perturbation, sit to stand and walk), and gait (treadmill walking with increasing speed).

DEVICE

dual-task balance training

Three cognitive tasks will be used for dual-task training while standing and walking: auditory discrimination tasks, verbal fluency tasks, and calculation tasks. In addition, motor tasks such as carrying a bag, holding a glass of water, alternating hand movement, carrying a tray with glasses, or getting keys out of a pocket will also be included as added tasks.
