Summary

This study tested whether combining two types of training—dual-task (doing two things at once) and perturbation-based (practicing balance recovery after a nudge)—could improve balance and thinking in stroke patients. 33 adults who had a stroke and had trouble with balance and mild cognitive issues took part. The goal was to see if this combined approach helps reduce fall risk and improve daily function.
