This study tests whether doing balance exercises while performing mental tasks together can help stroke survivors improve their stability and walking ability. Many stroke patients struggle with balance, and this training aims to help them regain confidence and reduce fall risk.
This study compares two training methods that may improve balance and daily function in older adults: doing thinking tasks while moving (dual task training) and learning through watching movements (action observation therapy). It aims to see which method is more helpful for people over 65.
