Cognitive-motor exergame training on a labile surface in stroke inpatients: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cognitive-motor training in form of exergames has been found to be feasible and effective for the improvement of motor and cognitive functioning in older adults and several patient populations. Exergame training under unstable conditions might increase the proprioceptive resources needed and thus might be a superior training approach compared to exergame training on stable ground for stroke patients, who often have proprioceptive deficits.

Objective

Aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and effects of exergame-based cognitive-motor training on a labile platform on physical and cognitive functioning in stroke inpatients.

Methods

This is two-armed pilot randomized controlled trial taking place in an inpatient neurologic rehabilitation clinic. A total
