Objective To explore the effect of the dual task training of walking and cognition led by clinical nurse specialists on the rehabilitation of stroke patients. Methods A total of 60 stroke inpatients were selected and divided into a control group and an experimental group according to their even or odd number in the ward, with 30 cases in each group. Based on routine rehabilitation nursing, the control group performed single task walking training, while the experimental group conducted dual task training of walking and cognition.The stroke postural control, Berg balance, fall efficacy, and activities of daily living scores of the two groups were assessed after 3 months of the intervention. Results After the intervention, there were significant differences in the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (PASS), the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), the Modified Fall Efficacy Scale (MFES) and the Modified Barthel Index (MBI) scores between the two groups （all P＜0.05）. Conclusion The dual task training of walking and cognition led by clinical nurse specialists can effectively improve the postural control ability of stroke patients.It is positive and significant to improve patients′ balance function, enhance their confidence in independent activities and promote their activities of daily living ability.
