Cognitive-Motor Incorporated Training and Its Relations in Cerebrovascular Diseases With Cognitive and Motor Impairments

"The MCIT program combines motor and cognitive training, progressing independently with increasing difficulty.~* Motor training, based on traditional physical therapy for stroke patients, includes upper and lower extremity exercises, bed mobility, strengthening (core and extremities), and balance training, progressing from static to dynamic tasks.~* Cognitive incorporative component, adapted from previous stroke studies, supports cognitive recovery and overall well-being. Training starts with attention and short-term memory tasks, advancing to working memory and inhibitory control with increasing difficulty. Progression requires an 80% success rate; if not achieved, tasks are simplified by reducing memory span or providing additional guidance."

Based on traditional physical therapy for stroke patients, includes upper and lower extremity exercises, bed mobility, strengthening (core and extremities), and balance training, progressing from static to dynamic tasks. Progression is guided by core action goals (Table 2) and depends on stable vital signs, balance, and minimal assistance. If participants are unable to progress, simpler tasks are provided.
