Effects of Dual-Task Training with different Intensity of Aerobic Exercise on Cognitive Function and Neurotrophic Factors in Chronic Stroke Patients

Background/Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of dual-task training with different intensity of aerobic exercise on cognitive function (MMSE-K, Trail making test, and Stroop test) and neurotrophic factors (BDNF, IGF-1) in chronic stroke patients. Stroke patients with cogn...

Description
Summary:Background/Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of dual-task training with different intensity of aerobic exercise on cognitive function (MMSE-K, Trail making test, and Stroop test) and neurotrophic factors (BDNF, IGF-1) in chronic stroke patients. Stroke patients with cognitive impairment experience considerable difficulty in exercise learning during rehabilitation training1, with limited active participation in physical training, and may temporarily or permanently lose normal posture control mechanisms that were automatically processed2. [...]cognitive impairment is an essential management item for stroke rehabilitation3. Inclusion criteria were as follows: duration of stroke between 6 months and 2 years, mild cognitive decline with an MMSE-K score of 18 to 23, ability to communicate, no contraindication to exercise testing using American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) guidelines, ability to independently perform the 10-m walk within 12 s, and taking no medication that could affect the experiment (Table 1). Because most clinical settings for cognitive training in stroke patients are limited to tabletop activity, the preventive and therapeutic effects of physical activity are overlooked34. [...]the present study findings suggest that applying differentiated aerobic exercise to various cognitive training processes can enhance the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation in stroke patients. 5.
