Mindfulness With Dual-Task Training in Post-Stroke Mild Cognitive Impairment
This study tests whether combining mindfulness with dual-task training (doing a thinking task while moving) can improve memory, thinking, and physical performance in people with mild cognitive impairment after a stroke. It is compared with aerobic training and health education. Phase is not applicable, which is common for behavioral studies.
