Speed of Voluntary Stepping in Chronic Stroke Survivors Under Single- and Dual-Task Conditions: A Case-Control Study Melzer I et al. - The significant increase in step phase's duration during single- and dual-task conditions may be a factor contributing to the large number of falls seen in stroke patients. The interference effects of attention-demanding task were similar between groups, suggesting that both groups used similar strategies. Future research should determine whether step training can improve step decrements in chronic stroke survivors. [more...]
