Cognitive-motor Exercise for Stroke Patients in Function, Cognition and Related Brain Changes. (COGMOTION)

April 13, 2024 updated by: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

An Innovative Cognitive-motor Exercise Training (COGMOTION) for People With Stroke: Effects on Balance, Mobility, Falls, Cognition and Related Brain Changes.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a cognitive-motor exercise on dual-task interference during dual-task ankle movement and the corresponding alterations of brain activity.

Detailed Description

The prevalence rate of stroke increased by 106.0% (93.7-118.8) from 1990 to 2019 in China, and stroke burden is still severe. Community ambulation is an important factor that influences health-related quality of life after a stroke.In daily living, effective community ambulation requires the ability to maintain balance and walking function while engaging in other tasks that demand attentional resources simultaneously (i.e., dual-tasking). Increasing evidence has shown that stroke patients have more problems with dual-task balance and walking function than their age-matched able-bodied peers. stroke individuals were found to have more reduction in both the walking speed and cognitive recall than control group during walking with remembering a shopping list. Hence, since stroke victims must reintegrate into community, this kind of cognitive-motor interference needs to be thoroughly studied.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: dual-task group
patients receive three dual motor-cognitive exercise training per week for six weeks.
Behavioral: Dual-task training
participants receive three 60-minute COGMOTION dual-task exercise sessions per week for six consecutive weeks.
Active Comparator: single-task group
Patients receive three separate cognitive and mobility exercises per week for six weeks.
Behavioral: Single-task training
participants receive 30-minute single motor tasks with 30-minute single cognitive tasks three times per week for six consecutive weeks.The cognitive and mobility exercises will be the same as those in the dual-task group, but they will be performed separately.
Active Comparator: control group
Patients receive three upper limb muscle strengthening exercise with muscle stretching per week for six weeks.
Behavioral: Upper limb strengthening exercise
participants receive upper limb strengthening exercise for 30 minutes and flexibility exercises for 30 minutes three times per week for six consecutive weeks. The training is performed in sitting or standing position and no cognitive load will be added.
