Study of Blood Flow Restriction and Cognitive-Motor Dual Task Training to Improve Strength, Gait, and Balance in People With Subacute Stroke
Effects of an Individualized Blood Flow Restriction Training Combined With a Cognitive-Motor Dual Task Intervention on Lower Limb Strength, Gait Ability, and Fall Stability in Subacute Stroke Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 12 Dec 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study aims to evaluate the effects of individualized blood flow restriction (BFR) training combined with cognitive-motor dual task intervention on lower limb muscle strength, gait ability, and fall stability in patients with subacute stroke. A total of 28 participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group (BFR + dual task training) or the control group (dual task only). The intervention will last for 5 weeks, with training sessions conducted three times per week, each lasting 40 minutes. The primary outcome is lower limb strength measured by the Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test. Secondary outcomes include gait ability (10-Meter Walk Test and Functional Gait Assessment) and fall stability (Timed Up and Go Test and Korean version of the Falls Efficacy Scale-International). This study seeks to verify whether combining low-pressure BFR training (40% of arterial occlusion pressure) with dual task training can be a clinically effective strategy for improving motor and cognitive function in individuals with subacute stroke.
