Brain Activity Changes After Structured Cognitive-motor Exercise for People With Stroke
Sponsor: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Summary
To assess the effects of a dual-task exercise program on cognitive-motor interference during dual-task walking and the associated changes in brain activity.
Official title: Using Functional Near-infrared Spectroscopy to Study the Changes in Brain Activity During Dual-task Walking and the Effects of Structured Cognitive-motor Exercise in Individuals With Stroke

Interventions
Dual-task training
This group will receive 30 min of dual-task exercise training and 30 min of stretching exercises in each session. The dual-task component involves walking activities performed in conjunction with cognitive activities. For the stretching exercise component, no cognitive load will be added.
Single-task training
This group will undergo 30 min of single-task mobility training and another 30 min of single-task cognitive activities. The cognitive and mobility exercises will be the same as those in the dual-task group, but they will be performed separately. No extra cognitive load will be imposed during the mobility exercises. No additional motor demand will be imposed during the cognitive exercises, as the participants will be sitting.
Control group
This group will undergo 30 min of stretching exercises (same as the dual-task group) and another 30 min of upper limb strengthening exercises performed primarily in the sitting or lying position. No cognitive load will be added.
