Abstract: A modular multi-sensory dual-task step grid apparatus for integrated cognitive-motor rehabilitation and training comprises a plurality of step grid modules, each having a structural body defining an upper stepping surface incorporating visual indicator elements including colour-coded zones, numerical designations, directional arrow markings, and symbol patterns. The modules are interconnected by coupling mechanisms in selectable arrangement patterns. An auditory cue generation unit delivers auditory stimuli concurrently with visual indicator activation. An optional control unit executes pre-configured or therapist-programmed training protocols by coordinating visual and auditory stimulus delivery. Optional tactile surface elements provide proprioceptive differentiation across modules. Optional sensors embedded in modules detect user contact, and a performance recording unit captures response latency, step accuracy, and sequence compliance. The apparatus enables simultaneous cognitive and physical motor task execution, addressing neuro-rehabilitation, geriatric fall prevention, paediatric motor training, and athletic dual-task performance enhancement, in a portable, modular, and cost-effective format.
