This study examines the efficacy of dual-task training (DTT) in improving cognitive and motor function in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Cognitive and motor impairments are common sequelae of TBI, often disrupting patients' ability to perform daily activities that require simultaneous physical and mental effort. Dual-task training, which involves performing cognitive and motor tasks concurrently, has been proposed as an effective rehabilitation strategy. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, including randomized controlled trials and observational studies focusing on TBI patients undergoing DTT. Outcome measures included improvements in cognitive function (e.g., attention, executive functioning) and motor performance (e.g., gait stability, balance). Additionally, the transfer of dual-task improvements to real-world tasks was evaluated. Dual-task training significantly improved cognitive-motor interaction, with marked enhancements in reaction time, task accuracy, and gait parameters under dual-task conditions. Patients also demonstrated better attention allocation and increased adaptability in dynamic environments. Importantly, improvements were maintained in follow-up assessments, suggesting lasting neuroplastic effects. However, the efficacy of DTT was influenced by factors such as injury severity, task complexity, and training duration. Dual-task training is an effective and promising intervention for improving cognitive and motor function in TBI patients, facilitating their reintegration into daily life. Future research should explore optimal task combinations, individualized training protocols, and long-term outcomes to maximize its clinical applicability.
