This application provides a method and system for gait and cognitive training adjustment for patients with cerebral small vessel disease. The method superimposes a preset cognitive task during the patient's normal walking process, simultaneously collecting gait and cognitive data under dual-task conditions to obtain dual-task data. Based on gait baseline data, cognitive baseline data, and dual-task data, a dual-task interference index is calculated. Postural control training is then performed on the patient using a balance training device. The perturbation parameters and visual feedback parameters of the balance training device are adaptively adjusted according to the dual-task interference index grading results. Within the training cycle, the dual-task walking phase is repeatedly executed at a preset retest frequency, updating the dual-task interference index and its corresponding grading results. Based on the updated grading results, the balance device training parameters for the next training cycle are dynamically adjusted. This method can suppress the influence of learning effects on training results during the dual-task training phase, improving the accuracy of the training control process for patients with cerebral small vessel disease.
