Effects of Dual Task-Oriented Circuit Training on Walking Recovery in Sub-acute Stroke
Indonesia36 participantsStarted 2026-04-01
Plain-language summary
This pilot study aims to assess the feasibility, safety, and initial efficacy of an integrated Dual Task-Oriented Circuit Training (DTOCT) program for individuals in the subacute phase of stroke recovery. Although numerous patients recover the capacity to walk in a regulated hospital environment, they frequently encounter difficulties with "community ambulation," the capability to traverse real-world settings while multitasking (e.g., walking while conversing or circumventing barriers). This study will examine if the integration of high-intensity circuit training with cognitive difficulties can promote neuroplasticity and enhance the patient's capacity to safely traverse intricate daily settings.
