Brief Summary:
Background Functional community ambulation not only requires a critical level of postural control and walking skills but also the ability to engage in cognitive tasks while walking ie dual-task walking and adapt to the constantly-changing environmental contexts There is evidence showed that dual-task balance and gait performance is significantly impaired after stroke Increasing evidence also suggests that dual-task balance and gait performance is useful for predicting falls among individuals with stroke Considering the high clinical relevance of dual-task balance and gait performance it is essential that stroke rehabilitation adequately addresses dual-task deficits Developing specific dual-task balance and gait training to enhance dual-task performance is thus necessary to promote community ambulation and reintegration
Study Aim The aim of this Introduction Many individuals after stroke continue to cope with residual physical impairments after discharge from hospital One of the major problems encountered by people after stroke is community reintegration Functional community ambulation not only requires a critical level of postural control and walking skills but also the ability to engage in cognitive tasks while walking ie dual-task walking and adapt to the constantly-changing environmental contexts There has been an increasing awareness of the importance of dual-task gait performance in community-dwelling individuals with stroke in the past few years

Study Aim This will be a single-blinded randomized controlled trial RCTThe aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of a dual-task exercise program on cognitive-motor interference in balance and walking tasks balance self-efficacy participation in everyday activities community reintegration and incidence of falls among individuals with chronic stroke

Study design
This will be a single-blinded randomized controlled trial RCT After baseline evaluation subjects will be randomly allocated to one of the three groups 1 dual-task training group 2 single-task training group 3 strengthening and flexibility exercise group controls using a 111 randomization sequence
Measurements Outcomes will be used to compare the therapeutic effects of the 3 treatment groups The outcome measurements except data on incidence of falls will take place at 3 time points 1 within one week before initiation of intervention baseline 2 within one week after completion of training 3 8 weeks after completion of training The fall data will be collected on a monthly basis until 6 months after termination of the intervention period All assessments will be performed by a researcher who is blinded to group allocation
