First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether adding thinking tasks to physical exercises helps liver transplant patients improve their memory, balance, and daily function. 32 adults who had a liver transplant were split into two groups: one did standard physiotherapy, the other did motor-cognitive dual-task exercises. Researchers measured thinking skills, balance, and walking ability before and after treatment.
