Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dual-task training on gait, balance, and quality of life in individuals with stroke. The study included 30 individuals aged 30-80 years with stroke. All participants were assessed using the 10-meter walk test (10MWT), 10MWT under dual-task interaction (DTI), timed up and go (TUG), 30-Second Chair-Stand Test (30s-CST), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Short Form 36 (SF-36). Participants were randomized into two groups. Both groups received conventional physiotherapy for approximately 1 hour, five days a week. Group I also received dual-task training.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Berg Balance Scale

  It is a scale designed to evaluate balance and determine the risk of falling. It consists of 14 items based on performance of sitting, standing, and posture change. Scores can range from 0 to 56. The higher the score, the better the postural control.

  Six weeks

• Timed Up and Go Test

  The participant was asked to get up from the chair he was sitting on, walk 3 meters at a safe and normal speed, and then turn back and sit on the chair again. The time was recorded by a stopwatch.

  Six weeks

• 10-meter walk test

  The 10-meter walk test (10MWT) is suggested for assessing gait in post-stroke rehabilitation. The participant was instructed to walk at comfortable walking speed a distance of 10 meters. The time was recorded in seconds with a stopwatch.

  Six weeks

• 30-Second Chair-Stand Test

  For this test, the participant was seated on a chair with a sitting height of 45-47 cm, with his arms on his chest, and was asked to stand up and sit down as many times as possible within 30 seconds. The score was recorded as zero if the participant could not get up from the chair without using their arms

  Six weeks

• Short Form 36

  The scale consists of 36 items in the following categories: physical function, social function, physical role, emotional role, mental health, vitality, bodily pain, and general health. Subscales evaluate health between 0 and 100, with 0 indicating poor health and 100 indicating good health.
