Abstract

Purpose: The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of balance and gait ability through two motor dual task training in chronic stroke subjects. Methods: A group of twenty-five subjects who were six months post stroke participated in this study, where they were designated into pretest-posttest control The subjects were randomly allocated into two groups: experimental (n=13) and control (n=12). Both groups received physical therapy for 5 session 30 minutes per week during 6 weeks. Experimental group practiced additional two motor dual task training programs for thirty minutes a day, three days a week during six weeks. Evaluation of results was obtained through analyzing static balance, dynamic balance and gait function. Results: There was significant improvement among the group that practiced the additional two motor dual task training in that the postural sway area with open eye and close eye on the foam surface, the dynamic balance (p<0.05), and the gait function (p<0.05). Conclusion: Two motor dual task training improved static balance on the foam, dynamic balance, gait function. These results suggest that two motor dual task training is a feasible and suitable treatment for individuals with chronic stroke.
