- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method At 6 Measurement points (baseline, after every training session, 1 week post training and 4 weeks after post measurement). Will dual task training improve walking performance during ST (single task), DT (dual task) and TT (triple task) performance in individuals with moderate to severe hearing impairment?<br>Primary outcome: GaitRite walking system (CIR Systems Inc. Clifton, NJ 07012): velocity, cadence, step-length, stride-length and double-support time. <br>The measurements are already finished, they were done during daytime.<br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary outcomes<br>- Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)<br>- Six-minute walk test (6MWT)<br>- Falls Efficacy Scale – International (FES-I) <br>- Modified Gait Efficacy Scale with 10-items<br>- 20 Item Borg Scale <br>- Stroop test was printed on cards (21.9 x 29.5cm)<br>The secondary outcomes were measured together with the primary outcomes.
