About this study
Official title: Effects of Tai Chi and Dual Task Balance Training on Balance and Fall Risk in Post Stroke Patients
The aim of the study is to compare the effects of Tai Chi and Dual Task Balance Training on Balance and Fall Risk in Post Stroke Patients
Read the detailed description
Stroke is a major neurological condition that can result in persistent impairments in balance, postural control, mobility, coordination, and functional independence, consequently increasing the risk of falls among post-stroke patients. Tai Chi is a mind-body exercise that involves controlled, slow, and coordinated movements, weight shifting, postural alignment, and relaxation, which may improve balance and functional mobility. In contrast, Dual Task Balance Training combines balance and mobility exercises with simultaneous cognitive or motor tasks to improve the ability to perform activities while managing competing demands. The aim of this study is to determine the comparative effects of Tai Chi and Dual Task Balance Training on balance and fall risk in post-stroke patients. This study will be conducted as a randomized clinical trial, in which eligible post-stroke patients will be randomly allocated into two groups. The study will be conducted at DHQ Toba Tek Singh, Ibrahim Riaz Ullah Medical Complex Pirmahal, Tanveer Hospital Pirmahal, Azaan Medical Complex Pirmahal, and National Hospital Pirmahal.. Group A will receive classical Yang-style 24-form Tai Chi, whereas Group B will receive Dual Task Balance Training. Both groups will receive their respective interventions three times per week for 12 weeks, with each session lasting approximately 60 minutes. Participants will be assessed before and after the intervention using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up and Go (TUG), and Mini-BESTest to evaluate balance and functional mobility. Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 27.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Tai ChiOther
Participants will receive a classical 24-form Yang-style Tai Chi program. Sessions will be approximately 60 minutes, three times per week for 12 weeks. Each session will include a 5-10-minute warm-up, 40 minutes of Tai Chi practice, and a 5-10-minute cool-down/relaxation period. The program will emphasize controlled movements, weight shifting, postural alignment, balance, coordination, relaxation, and natural breathing.
Dual Task Balance TrainingOther
Participants will receive Dual Task Balance Training consisting of supervised 60-minute sessions, three times per week for 12 weeks. Each session will include a 10-minute warm-up, 40 minutes of progressive balance training combined with cognitive or motor dual tasks, and a 10-minute relaxation period. Exercises will target proprioception, strengthening, postural sway, and reaction time, with progressive increases in difficulty according to participants' abilities.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Berg Balance Scale (BBS)
The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) is a widely recognized clinical tool used to measure balance performance in individuals with neurological conditions, including chronic stroke. It consists of 14 functional tasks, such as standing up from a sitting position, reaching forward, and standing on one foot. Each item is scored on a 5-point scale (0-4), with a maximum total score of 56. A lower score indicates a higher risk of falling. The BBS is both valid and reliable for assessing balance deficits in stroke survivors and is sensitive to change over time, making it suitable for evaluating intervention outcomes.
Measured: 12 weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
Mini-BESTest
The Mini-BESTest is a clinical tool used to assess dynamic balance across four domains: anticipatory postural adjustments, reactive postural control, sensory orientation, and dynamic gait. It consists of 14 items, each scored from 0 to 2, with a maximum total score of 28. Higher scores indicate better balance performance. The test is sensitive to changes in individuals with neurological conditions, including stroke, and is highly reliable with ICC.
Measured: 12 Weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Tai Chi and Dual Task Balance Training in people with Post Stroke and Stroke, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.
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 8 inclusion and 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Oct 2026. 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 Pakistan. 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?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Berg Balance Scale (BBS) (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 NCT07854067, which also lists 48 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 2 Oct 2026.
