Conditions

Post-stroke state Circulatory System

Interventions

Patients with stroke will be divided into four groups according to the severity of their paresis and age. For example, patients with no paresis = 65 years

patients with no paresis > 65 years

patients with paresis = 65 years

patients with paresis > 65 years. Comparison will be made between patients with stroke and age-matched healthy volunteer controls. The participants will be trained by a physiotherapist with dual-task

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Participant’s cognitive function measured using the following methods at baseline and following one week of dual-task performance training: 1. Ziehen-Ranschburg Word Pair Test (R Word Pair) 2. Trail Making Test (Trail MT) 3. Clock drawing 4. Distance walked in 6 mins (in m), and time taken to walk 10 m (in sec) 5. National Institute of Health Stroke Score (NIHSS) 6. Modified Ranking State (M Ranking S) Sum of the muscle strength upper limbs (1-5 points) (SMSU), sum of the muscle strength lower limbs (SMSL) (1-5 points) 7. Dual-task performances (Bird, Simple, Divided, Habitat, Target Hits, Target Misses). The values of dual-task activities are given in sec except for the number of Hits and Misses.	—
