Abstract:
Objective:To explore the intervention effect of cognitive-walking dual-task training on executive and walking function in patients with cerebral apoplexy.Methods:A total of 70 stroke patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of Baoding Taihe Rehabilitation Hospital from June 2020 to October 2020 were selected as the study subjects.All 70 hemiplegic patients with stroke were randomly divided into control group ( n=35) and test group ( n=35) by random number table method, and a prospective study was conducted.The control group was given routine walking training, and the test group was given cognitive-walking dual-task training at the same time and frequency as the control group.E-Prime software was used to evaluate the executive function of patients before and 4 weeks after intervention, including three sub-tests of Flanker, 1-back and More-odd shifting, and the reaction time of each test was recorded.The score changes of Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) and Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) were recorded.The single-task walking time, dual-task walking time and dual-task walking time cost during 10 m Walk Test were calculated.Finally, 33 cases in the experimental group and 31 cases in the control group completed the study.Finally, 33 cases in the experimental group and 31 cases in the control group completed the study. Results:After 4 weeks of intervention, the MMSE scores of the experimental group and the control group were improved compared with those before intervention (the experimental group (26.39±1.90) and (24.42±2.69), t=10.824, P<0.001; the control group (25.45±1.77) and (24.61±2.16), t=7.325, P<0.001), and the experimental group was significantly better than the control group ( t=2.049, P=0.045)). The duration of three tests of executive function in the experimental group and the control group was significantly shorter than that before the intervention (Flanker task: the experimental group (752.38±178.28) ms and (939.42±260.11) ms, t=10.467, P<0.001; the control group (863.40±227.86) ms and (951.67±265.93) ms, t=8.140, P<0.001.1-back task: the experimental group (983.31±314.16) ms and (1 242.10±444.77) ms, t=10.386, P<0.001; the control group (1 186.89±293.80) ms and (1 238.27±305.95) ms, t=9.569, P<0.001.More odd shifting task: the experimental group (1 121.29±260.17) ms and (1 362.32±352.80) ms, t=13.084, P<0.001; the control group (1 255.81±269.41) ms and (1 351.37±287.46) ms, t=8.550, P<0.001), and the experimental group was significantly better than the control group (Flanker task: t=2.198, P=0.032; 1-back task: t=2.691, P=0.009; more odd shifting task: t=2.044, P=0.045). The results of 10 m walking test in the experimental group and the control group were improved compared with those before the intervention (single task walking time: the experimental group (20.71±9.61) s and (26.10±13.88) s, t=6.312, P<0.001; the control group (22.42±9.60) s and (25.62±10.97) s, t=13.009, P<0.001). The duration of dual task walking: the experimental group (22.73±10.28) s and (31.64±16.07) s, t=7.931, P<0.001; the control group (28.30±11.72) s and (31.89±13.65) s, t=9.348, P<0.001.The cost of dual task walking: the experimental group (10.32±6.87)% and (23.26±11.40)%, t=10.602, P<0.001; the control group (27.39±7.38)% and (24.94±7.48)%, t=2.719, P=0.011). The 10 m walking test time of the experimental group was shorter than that of the control group ( t=2.027, P=0.047), and the walking time cost of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group ( t=9.583, P<0.001). Conclusion:Cognitive walking dual task training can improve the walking function of patients, which is more conducive to the recovery of executive function than conventional walking training.
