About this trial

This study aims to investigate the relationship between cognitive impairment and gait balance in individuals with chronic stroke. Using the IQCODE and a balance assessment system, the study evaluates how post-stroke cognitive decline may influence stability and motor control. The findings will support better rehabilitation strategies tailored to cognitive function.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adults aged 25-75 years

Diagnosed with chronic stroke (≥6 months post-stroke)

Able to stand independently for testing

Capable of completing assessments or has an informant available for IQCODE

Disqualifiers

Severe visual, vestibular, or musculoskeletal impairments

History of other neurological disorders

Acute illness or uncontrolled medical condition

Inability to follow instructions or complete cognitive/balance assessments

Trial population

A non-random sample of 26 adults aged 25-75 years with chronic stroke, recruited from outpatient rehabilitation centers. Participants were assessed in a single session to evaluate the relationship between cognitive impairment and gait balance.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Correlation between IQCODE scores and center of pressure velocity (eyes open)

Assess the relationship between cognitive impairment and balance control by comparing IQCODE scores with center of pressure velocity during quiet standing with eyes open.

Time frame
At baseline (single session)

Secondary outcomes

1

Correlation between IQCODE scores and center of pressure velocity (eyes closed)

Assess the relationship between cognitive impairment and postural control by comparing IQCODE scores with center of pressure velocity during quiet standing with eyes closed.

Time frame
At baseline (single session)
