Comparative Effects of Dual Task Training and Repetitive Task Training in Chronic Stroke

21 juli 2026 bijgewerkt door: Riphah International University

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

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.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving

It will be a single-blinded randomized clinical trial. Non-Probability Convenience sampling technique will be used to recruit 82 participants aged 40 to 70 years from diverse community areas in Gujrat. Through the computerized table generator method of randomization, the individuals will be randomly allocated to two groups, one undergoing Dual task gait training and the other Repetitive task training. Both the groups will perform their respective trainings for 3 days a week for 8 weeks. Tools such as Time Up and Go test (TUG) for walking function, Activity Specific Balance and Confidence ABC scale for fall risk assessment, Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) for strength, Berg Balance Scale (BBS) for balance will be used to measure outcomes. Data will be analyzed in the SPSS version 25. After normality testing of the data, the Paired sample t-test will be used for parametric data while Wilcoxon test will be used for non-parametric data in intragroup comparison, while for intergroup comparison, the independent t-test will be for parametric data and Mann-Whitney U test for non-parametric.

Experimenteel: Dual task training group A
Participants will receive 45-minute individualized training sessions, 3 times a week for 8weeks. The duration and intensity will be varying. Balance training and dual task training programs will be effective in improving balance function and dual-task performance in post stroke patients respectively The balance training program will use progressive activities related to body stability (e.g., standing with eyes closed, tandem standing, and standing on compliant surfaces), to body stability plus hand manipulation (e.g., standing on foam with rapid alternating hand movement or while throwing and catching a ball, and tandem standing while holding a basket), then body transport (e.g., narrow walking, walking backward, and transferring from 1 chair to another), and finally body transport plus hand manipulation. The participants receiving dual-task training with fixed-priority instructions will practice balance tasks while simultaneously performing cognitive tasks, and will be instructed to

Actieve vergelijker: Repetitive task training group B
While for Repetitive task training Participants would encouraged to perform arms and legs movement in different directions as quickly. This programme is comprised of functional tasks, embedded in routine everyday activities completed on the ward or at home. This aims to make the programme highly relevant to participants, promote 'carry over' into real life situations, and encourage self-practice. Recovery activities like: washing, dressing and eating/ drinking. Participants will be asked to practice each selected recovery activity independently for up to 20 times, twice per day. To performs RTT, the therapist selects a task relevant to the patient's daily activities-such as sit-to-stand transfers, stepping exercises, or walking-and guides the patient through high repetitions of that task. For example, a lower limb RTT session may include 3 sets of 10-15 sit-to-stand repetitions, step- ups on a low platform, or repeated 10-meter walking laps. Session time typically varies is repeated 3
