Summary: The study evaluated the effects of mixed dual-task training on mobility, cognitive function, and balance in community-dwelling older adults. The results showed that both training protocols improved mobility, dual-task effect, lower limb function, static and dynamic balance, body sway, and cognitive function in older adults.

Summary: The study found that dual-task gait treadmill training significantly improved gait ability in people with chronic stroke in dual-task training and dual-task interference, making it more effective compared to single-task training.

Summary: This study aimed to identify patient characteristics and clinical test results that predict the functional gait speed of individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). The results showed that sociodemographic factors, disease stage, and clinical test results significantly influenced gait speed, emphasizing the multifactorial nature of gait in demanding environments.

Summary: This study compares the effects of integrated and consecutive cognitive dual-task balance training on balance and gait performance in older adults. The results show that there is no statistically significant difference in the impact of the two training methods on balance and gait performance after an 8-week training period. This suggests that consecutive dual-task balance training can be used as an alternative method to improve balance and gait in older adults who cannot perform integrated dual-task activities.

Summary: This meta-analysis evaluated the effect of dual-task training on gait and balance improvement in stroke patients. The results showed that dual-task training can improve step length, cadence, stride length, and 10-meter walk test in stroke patients. Further research is needed to explore the potential benefits in improving balance function.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a wearable inertial sensor feedback system, Mobility Rehab, in gait training for older adults. The research is a single-center, pragmatic clinical trial involving 200 elderly patients with gait disturbances undergoing either standard physical therapy or therapist-assisted feedback therapy for 6 weeks.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of dual-task interference on gait, balance, and cognitive function in stroke survivors. Results showed that dual-task interference significantly affected gait performance, balance, and cognitive abilities in individuals post-stroke. The degree of interference, whether in motor or cognitive tasks, had distinct effects on different aspects of function and performance in this population.

Summary: Study on dual-task interference in older adults during walking and cognitive tasks revealed that there is a differential effect on gait and cognition, with higher cognitive cost for category fluency compared to letter fluency. In the case of letter fluency, maintaining cognitive performance resulted in sacrificing gait by increasing step width.

Summary: This study aimed to create and validate a dual-task exercise program that focuses on both physical and cognitive training in order to improve balance and gait speed in older people. Expert consensus was obtained through the Delphi Method, and the program was deemed effective by neurorehabilitation and geriatrics experts. The findings can contribute to the homogenization of future studies and professional practice in the use of dual-task exercises.

Summary: Dual-task training has shown significant improvements in dynamic balance and functional mobility in patients with multiple sclerosis, particularly in the Timed Up & Go test and Berg Balance scale. However, more research is needed to draw conclusions on the effects of dual-task training on static balance performance.

Summary: A systematic review found that home-based exercises are as effective as equivalent doses of centre-based exercises for improving walking speed and balance after stroke. The effects of these two types of exercise remained comparable beyond the intervention period.

Summary: The study found that both dual-task gait training and single-task gait training improved single and dual-task gait speed, but did not change the amount of relative interference. Furthermore, subgroup analysis suggested that participants with greater interference at baseline may benefit more from dual-task gait training.

Summary: This study aims to determine the efficacy of robotic gait training (RAGT) on the balance of post-stroke survivors. The results show that RAGT is equally effective as traditional therapy, and the combination of the two may lead to better outcomes. Therefore, future experimentation should focus on robot-assisted balance training.
