Brief Summary

The goal of this study ifs to determine the comparative effects of Lee Silverman voice treatment Big and dual task training on balance, cognition and functional mobility in older adults with cognitive impairment.

Perform LSVT big four times in a week for about 4 months. Perform dual task training four times in a week for about 4 months. Complete assessments at baseline, the 4th, 8th, 12th weeks, and a follow-up at the 16th week.

Outcome measures include Mini BESTest, MoCA, stroop test and time up and go test. Statistical analyses will assess within-group and between-group effects based on data distribution.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Mini BESTest	4th week	It is a short form of the BESTest which include 14 items only. The Mini-BESTest includes asses aspects of dynamic balance control also and control while walking and performing a cognitive task.
MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment (For Cognition)	4th week	The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is cognitive screening tool which include 30 points. It measures visuospatial, short term memory, orientation, language, executive functioning along with attention/concentration/working memory.
Stroop test	4th week	The Stroop task is one of the most widely used measures of cognitive functioning. The Stroop test requires participants to name the color in which a presented word is printed. Numerous studies have shown that participants need more time to name ink colors of incongruent words than to name ink colors of control patches.
Time up and go test	4th week	Timed Up and Go (TUG) have been used in clinical settings as a measure of physical performance in older adults with and without cognitive dysfunction. This test requires people to stand up from a chair, walk 3 m, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down again.
