Summary

This study investigates the effect of cognitive priming through mental arithmetic on functional mobility in post-stroke patients. It hypothesizes that performing mental calculations (addition, subtraction, multiplication) prior to movement stimulates frontoparietal networks, thereby improving gait speed and dynamic balance compared to a passive control condition.

Conditions

  • Stroke
  • Hemiparesis
  • Gait Disorders
  • Posture
  • Disorders

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mental Arithmetic

Visual presentation of arithmetic equations (Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication) projected on a screen. Participants must calculate and verbally report the answer within a 10-second window per equation.

BEHAVIORAL

Passive Viewing

Passive viewing of a black screen with no cognitive demand.
