Two mobility tests [10\u00a0m walking and timed\u2010up\u2010and\u2010go (TUG) test] and two cognitive tasks (serial 3 subtractions and verbal fluency) were assessed separately [that is, single\u2010task (ST) condition] and concurrently (i.e., DT condition) before and after the intervention.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The experimental group had greater improvement in TUG time under both ST and DT conditions (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05), while the step length of the paretic leg during the 10\u00a0m walking test of the experimental group only showed better improvement under ST condition and in DT condition when performed with serial 3 subtractions task. Cadence changes did not reach significance in any DT condition. Greater increment in the DT cognitive performance was observed only when verbal fluency task performed with 10\u00a0m walking test in the experimental group. The experimental group had better gain in Montreal cognitive assessment, Mini balance evaluation systems test, and Activities\u2010specific balance confidence scores than controls.\n
