Official title
Effects of Dual-task Training During Curved Walking for Cognitive Function in Stroke Patients
Overview
The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of curved walking training under dual-task conditions on the cognitive function and walking ability of stroke patients.
Interventions
- Behavioral cognitive dual-task group
Cognitive tasks as the second task in addition to walking - Behavioral Single-task group
walking without performing a second task during the walking training
Primary outcome measures

- Trail Making Test [Time frame: From baseline to the end of treatment at 3 weeks]
- Walking ability with different attention loads while turning - time [Time frame: From baseline to the end of treatment at 3 weeks]
- Walking ability with different attention loads while turning - numbers of steps [Time frame: From baseline to the end of treatment at 3 weeks]
- Walking ability with different attention loads while turning - gait speed [Time frame: From baseline to the end of treatment at 3 weeks]
- Walking ability with different attention loads while turning - step length [Time frame: From baseline to the end of treatment at 3 weeks]
- Walking ability with different attention loads while turning - step time [Time frame: From baseline to the end of treatment at 3 weeks]
- Walking ability with different attention loads while straight-line walking - time [Time frame: From baseline to the end of treatment at 3 weeks]
- Walking ability with different attention loads while straight-line walking - numbers of steps [Time frame: From baseline to the end of treatment at 3 weeks]
- Walking ability with different attention loads while straight-line walking - gait speed [Time frame: From baseline to the end of treatment at 3 weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
