Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dual-task training on gait, balance, and quality of life in individuals with stroke. The study included 30 individuals aged 30-80 years with stroke. All participants were assessed using the 10-meter walk test (10MWT), 10MWT under dual-task interaction (DTI), timed up and go (TUG), 30-Second Chair-Stand Test (30s-CST), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Short Form 36 (SF-36). Participants were randomized into two groups. Both groups received conventional physiotherapy for approximately 1 hour, five days a week. Group I also received dual-task training.

Berg Balance Scale
Time Frame: Six weeks
It is a scale designed to evaluate balance and determine the risk of falling. It consists of 14 items based on performance of sitting, standing, and posture change. Scores can range from 0 to 56. The higher the score, the better the postural control.
Timed Up and Go Test
Time Frame: Six weeks
The participant was asked to get up from the chair he was sitting on, walk 3 meters at a safe and normal speed, and then turn back and sit on the chair again. The time was recorded by a stopwatch.
10-meter walk test
Time Frame: Six weeks
The 10-meter walk test (10MWT) is suggested for assessing gait in post-stroke rehabilitation. The participant was instructed to walk at comfortable walking speed a distance of 10 meters. The time was recorded in seconds with a stopwatch.
30-Second Chair-Stand Test
Time Frame: Six weeks
For this test, the participant was seated on a chair with a sitting height of 45-47 cm, with his arms on his chest, and was asked to stand up and sit down as many times as possible within 30 seconds.
