Background/Aims: The purpose of our study was to investigate the effects of dual-task training on balance, mobility, functional independence, and fear of falling in geriatrics with chronic stroke. Methods: Fifty-three geriatrics diagnosed with stroke were included in our study. The elderly were divided into 2 groups, i.e., those walking with (intervention group, n = 25) and those walking without (controls, n = 28) dual-task training. Results: We found statistically significant improvements in all parameters between pre- and posttreatment in both groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Based on our findings, walking with dual-task training can be used in addition to conventional stroke rehabilitation aiming to improve balance and mobility.

Abstract Introduction Postural instability problem in the elderly is associated the cognitive impairment. The ageing process is directly linked to impairments in postural stability. Dual task activity is a commonplace to most activities of daily living. The elderly who has a postural instability and cognitive decline that are mechanisms which lead to an increased risk of falls in the elderly. Objective To investigate the effect of dual task training on postural stability in the healthy elderly. Methods The sixty-six healthy elderly were selected based on the inclusion criteria. With randomized 33 participants in each experimental and control group. The experimental group received dual task training for 6 weeks delivered three days per week. The control group received education for postural stability and aerobic exercise. Their postural stability was assessed using the Mini-BESTest in before and after training. Results The score of the Mini-BESTest compare between before and after 6 weeks were significantly different in postural stability and cognitive from that before in experimental group (p&lt;0.001). Conclusions The finding support the dual task training program can improve postural stability in the elderly. Therefore, the dual task training program should be implemented with the elderly to be a choice of exercises for the elderly with postural instability.
