Summary
This study tests whether combining mindfulness meditation with dual-task training (like walking while doing mental math) can improve thinking and physical skills in people with mild cognitive impairment after a stroke. Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to the combined program or standard care. The goal is to see if this approach helps with memory, attention, and daily movement.
