Balance is controlled through a complex process involving sensory, visual, vestibular and cerebral functioning which get affected by various neurological disorders such as in stroke. Different types of exercises are designed to target to cope up with the imbalance developed due to these neurological disorders. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of dual-task training using two different priority instructional sets in improving gait parameters such as self-selected velocity, fast speed, step length, and stride length in middle cerebral artery chronic stroke patients. A total of thirty middle cerebral artery chronic stroke patients were recruited on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria and equally allocated into two groups. Group 1 received dual-task training with fixed priority instructional sets for four weeks and group 2 received dual-task training with variable priority instructional sets for four weeks. The outcome was assessed using a 10-meter walk test and the comparison of footprints on the walkway paper before and after training.
