- Original description
Chronic stroke survivors those who have had a stroke for more than six months frequently experience long-lasting, incapacitating deficits, particularly when it comes to motor task impairment. Furthermore, following a stroke, muscle coordination is frequently compromised, resulting in deficiencies in gait and balance control. Dual-task gait training involves incorporating the concept of "doing two tasks" simultaneously. Stroke survivors frequently struggle with walking and multitasking, such as juggling multiple things at once while walking. Repetitive task training (RTT) is a component of contemporary therapeutic approaches in stroke rehabilitation that entails the active practice of task-specific motor exercises. Repetitive task training strategy known as a task-oriented approach entails training a task repeatedly with an emphasis on functional performance aimed at successfully completing it. This study aims to determine the Comparative effects of Dual-task Gait Training and Repetitive task training on dynamic balance, walking function, muscle strength and risk of fall in chronic stroke patients.Read full original descriptionShow less
Comparative Effects of Dual-task Gait Training and Repetitive Task Training on Dynamic Balance, Walking Function, Muscle Strength and Risk of Fall in Chronic Stroke

Inclusion: The patient is between the age of 40 to 70 Male and female patients. Chronic post-stroke patients who experienced either ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke between 6 months to 1 year; Participants who have issues in balance control and walking with berg balance score < 22 that indicates need for walking assistance and are at fall risk; Participants who reported at least one fall in the past 6 months but retain ambulatory ability with/without aid.
Exclusion: Recurrent stroke patients. Participants included in other training/study. other neurological conditions, cardiovascular condition, other serious diseases or conditions (e.g., osteoporosis) Patient with severe hypertension, congestive heart failure, unstable cardiac status, aphasia, or cognitive disabilities for which exercise is not recommended; Patients whose walking abilities are impacted by various medical conditions and neurologic illnesses that are worsening.
