About this study
Official title: Training Dual-task Balance and Walking in Community-dwelling Older Adults With Chronic Stroke: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Background Functional community ambulation not only requires a critical level of postural control and walking skills, but also the ability to engage in cognitive tasks while walking (i.e., dual-task walking) and adapt to the constantly-changing environmental contexts. There is evidence showed that dual-task balance and gait performance is significantly impaired after stroke. Increasing evidence also suggests that dual-task balance and gait performance is useful for predicting falls among individuals with stroke. Considering the high clinical relevance of dual-task balance and gait performance, it is essential that stroke rehabilitation adequately addresses dual-task deficits. Developing specific dual-task balance and gait training to enhance dual-task performance is thus necessary to promote community ambulation and reintegration.
Study Aim The aim of this Introduction Many individuals after stroke continue to cope with residual physical impairments after discharge from hospital. One of the major problems encountered by people after stroke is community reintegration. Functional community ambulation not only requires a critical level of postural control and walking skills, but also the ability to engage in cognitive tasks while walking (i.e., dual-task walking) and adapt to the constantly-changing environmental contexts. There has been an increasing awareness of the importance of dual-task gait performance in community-dwelling individuals with stroke in the past few years.

Study Aim The aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of a dual-task exercise program on cognitive-motor interference in balance and walking tasks, balance self-efficacy, participation in everyday activities, community reintegration and incidence of falls among individuals with chronic stroke.
Study design
This will be a single-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT). After baseline evaluation, subjects will be randomly allocated to one of the three groups: (1) dual-task training group, (2) single-task training group, (3) strengthening and flexibility exercise group (controls), using a 1:1:1 randomization sequence.
Measurements Outcomes will be used to compare the therapeutic effects of the 3 treatment groups. The outcome measurements (except data on incidence of falls) will take place at 3 time points: (1) within one week before initiation of intervention (baseline), (2) within one week after completion of training, (3) 8 weeks after completion of training. The fall data will be collected on a monthly basis until 6 months after termination of the intervention period. All assessments will be performed by a researcher who is blinded to group allocation.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Dual-task training group, Single-task training group and Flexibility and strength training group in people with Stroke, run by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University at 1 site in Hong Kong.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Nov 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Hong Kong. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Echo Ouyang, BSc (27664844, echo.y.ouyang@polyu.edu.hk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Timed-up-and-go test with and without dual-task (time frame: week 0). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02270398, which also lists 6 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Nov 2014.
