Abstract

 Background: Ambulation is the main problem in the stroke patient due to inadequacy of motor and sensory deficit, which has profound effect on their walking ability and leads to difficulty in performing the dual task cognitive performance simultaneously. Dual task Cognitive performance along with the conventional physiotherapy treatment may cause profound effect on various gait parameters in stroke.Objective: To find out the effects of dual task cognitive training in patients with sub-acute ischemic stroke. Method: A sample of 40 patients with sub- acute stroke will be recruiting on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Following baseline intervention, the participants will be randomly allocated into experimental (Dual task cognitive training and conventional physiotherapy treatment) and control group (conventional physiotherapy treatment). Both groups will receive 45 minutes sessions per weeks, 2 or 3 times a day. The primary outcome measure will be DGI (Dynamic Gait Index). Secondary outcome include Gait parameters (Cadence, Step length, Stride length, Gait velocity). Statistical Analysis: Data will be screened for normality by using and summarized as descriptive statistics. If data will be normally distributed, Data will be analyzed using independent t -Test and paired t -Test for between group analysis and within group analysis. Conclusion & Implications: This study provides evidence to help clinicians make decision about to include in rehabilitation to improve the dual task cognitive performance.
