Dual-task gait training vs repetitive task training after stroke

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This single-blinded randomized trial compares two rehabilitation approaches for chronic stroke survivors aged 40–70. Participants are assigned to either dual-task gait training or repetitive task training for 8 weeks, three sessions per week. Outcomes include walking function, balance confidence, fall risk, and muscle strength, measured with standard tests. Non-probability convenience sampling will recruit 82 participants from diverse community areas in Gujrat, with statistical analysis planned in SPSS v25. Results will inform which training approach more effectively improves gait and functional mobility after stroke.
