- Eight RCTs (n=224) included, assessed using Cochrane Risk-of-Bias-2 tool for methodological quality.
- Strong evidence: Dual-task training (DTT) and single-task training (STT) show comparable improvements in postural control and patient-reported outcome measures after ACL reconstruction.
- Moderate evidence: DTT is as effective as STT and superior to no intervention for postural control in ankle instability; superior to STT for flexor strength and pain in elbow fractures; and equivalent to STT for range of motion, PROMs, and kinesiophobia.
- DTT equals STT and exceeds no intervention for jump-landing kinetics in chronic ankle instability.
- Limited evidence supports DTT over no intervention for biomechanical improvements in knee ligament dominance defects and over STT for peroneus longus activation in CAI, with conflicting evidence on CAI proprioception.
