Background: Stroke is a neurologic disorder considered the first cause of disability among adults worldwide. The most important goal of treatment in stroke patients is to return the patients to society. Dual tasks have clinical significance in a number of areas in enhancement of the balance and mobility of patients. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effects of dual task exercises training program on balance, mobility and risk of falling in stroke patients and its impact on Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Research design: A quasi-experimental research design was utilized to conduct this study. Setting: This study was conducted at Neurological Department of Benha University Hospital. Sample: A purposive sample of 104 adult stroke patients who divided into intervention and control groups equally. Tools of data collection: Five tools were used for data collection. I: Structured neurological assessment sheet, II: Postural assessment scale for stroke, III: Timed up and go test, VI: Barthel index scale of ADL and V: Activities-specific balance confidence scale. Results: Hypertension is the most common risk factor among both groups, post intervention, BI (ADL dependency) of intervention group is significantly associated with their PASS score (level of balance) Conclusion: Dual task exercises training program was effective in improving clinical outcomes in patients with stroke. Recommendations: Nurses should be encouraged to implement the dual task exercises training as a routine practice for stroke patients to improve balance, mobility, risk of falling and ADL. | ||||
