简要总结
Dual task training (DTT) have been showed that have satisfying effects on older adults. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of motor-cognitive DTT (mCdtt) and motor-motor DTT (mMdtt) on balance, fear of falling, walking functionality and muscle strength in older adults. The participants were divided into two groups; who received mCdtt (Group 1) and who received mMdtt (Group 2). The intervention program had lasted for 8 weeks.
详细描述
Dual task training (DTT) have been showed that have satisfying effects on older adults. The aim of this study is comparing the effect of motor-cognitive DTT (mCdtt) and motor-motor DTT (mMdtt) on balance, fear of falling, walking functionality and muscle strength in older adults. A total of 50 participants aged 60 and over (mean age: 67.72±7.33 years), having a score ≥ 24 on the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE), being in category of walking ability ≥ 4 according to the Functional Ambulation Category (FAC), having no problem in visual ability and hearing were included for this study. The participants who received mCdtt (Group 1) counted back from the two-digit number and the participants who received mMdtt (Group 2) held half-filled glasses with 90o flexion elbow with both hand while performing exercises. The intervention program had lasted for 8 weeks. To assess balance, fear of falling, walking functionality and muscle strength of participants, Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Falls Efficacy Scale International (FES-I), Timed Up and Go (TUG) and Hand-held dynamometer were used, respectively.

结局指标
主要结局
Berg Balance Scale (BBS)
时间窗: End of the training (8 weeks after)
BBS is a widely used, reliable and valid scale, which was developed to measure balance in older adults with functional postures and movements. It consists of 14 items scoring from 0 (unable/unsafe) to 4 (independent/safe). The highest score was 56 and means the best ability of balance. Score of 0-20, 21-40 and 41-56 mean bad, fair and good ability of balance, respectively
次要结局
- Falls Efficacy Scale International (FES-I)(End of the training (8 weeks after))
- Timed Up and Go (TUG)(End of the training (8 weeks after))
- Muscle Testing (MT)(End of the training (8 weeks after))
