Feasibility of tele rehabilitation approach in dual task training on balance, mobility and cognitive function in patients with sub acute stroke

Stroke patients frequently experience gait abnormalities and cognitive deterioration, which have a major negative influence on their day to day life and quality of life. Sub acute stroke patients, in particular, require targeted interventions to optimize their recovery. Traditional rehabilitation approaches often focus on single-task training, which may not adequately prepare patients for the complexities of everyday life. Dual-task training (DTT), which involves performing two tasks simultaneously, has shown promise in improving gait and cognitive function in individuals with stroke. However, the effectiveness of DTT in sub acute stroke patients, particularly when delivered via tele rehabilitation, remains largely unexplored.    Through tele rehabilitation approach focus is mainly patient centered, in which Patients in remote areas can receive rehabilitation services without the need to travel long distances. It reduces the need for frequent hospital visits, saving on transportation and accommodation costs. It allows for tailored rehabilitation programs that can be adjusted based on patient progress and needs. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the need for remote rehabilitation solutions, making tele rehabilitation an attractive option for stroke rehabilitation. Thus study aims to investigate the effects of dual-task training on balance, gait and cognitive function in patients with sub acute stroke, using a tele rehabilitation approach. By exploring the feasibility and effectiveness of this intervention, this study will contribute to the development of innovative, accessible, and evidence-based rehabilitation strategies for sub acute stroke patient.
