- Original description
This pilot study aims to assess the feasibility, safety, and initial efficacy of an integrated Dual Task-Oriented Circuit Training (DTOCT) program for individuals in the subacute phase of stroke recovery. Although numerous patients recover the capacity to walk in a regulated hospital environment, they frequently encounter difficulties with "community ambulation," the capability to traverse real-world settings while multitasking (e.g., walking while conversing or circumventing barriers). This study will examine if the integration of high-intensity circuit training with cognitive difficulties can promote neuroplasticity and enhance the patient's capacity to safely traverse intricate daily settings.Read full original descriptionShow less
The Effect of Dual Task-Oriented Circuit Training on Neuroplasticity and Walking Adaptability in Subacute Stroke Patients: A Pilot and Feasibility Study
This pilot study aims to assess the feasibility, safety, and initial efficacy of an integrated Dual Task-Oriented Circuit Training (DTOCT) program for individuals in the subacute phase of stroke recovery. Although numerous patients recover the capacity to walk in a regulated hospital environment, they frequently encounter difficulties with "community ambulation," the capability to traverse real-world settings while multitasking (e.g., walking while conversing or circumventing barriers). This study will examine if the integration of high-intensity circuit training with cognitive difficulties can promote neuroplasticity and enhance the patient's capacity to safely traverse intricate daily settings.
Inclusion: Diagnosed with a first-ever subacute stroke (defined as 2 weeks to 5 months post-onset) with anterior circulation involvement; Diagnosis confirmed via neuroimaging (CT or MRI); Men and women aged 40 to 65 years; Motor recovery in the lower limbs corresponding to Brunnstrom stages 4 to; Functional Ambulation Category (FAC) score of at least grade 3; Ability to walk independently, with or without walking aids; Montreal Cognitive Assessment Indonesian version (MoCA-INA) score of ≥20, demonstrating the capacity to collaborate and follow multi-step instructions; Medically stable with controlled comorbidities.
Exclusion: Unstable cardiovascular or medical conditions (e.g., severe hypertension, congestive heart failure) for which moderate exercise is contraindicated; Expressive or receptive aphasia that impedes task comprehension; Moderate to severe depression, indicated by a Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) score of ≥ 15.
