Motor and Cognitive Dual-task Gait Training Effect Functional Outcome in Intellectual Disability

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Intellectual Disability
• Interventions: Other: Motor dual-task gait training; Other: Cognitive dual-task gait training

• Registration Number: NCT05334498
• Lead Sponsor: Riphah International University

Brief Summary

To find out the comparative effects of motor and cognitive dual gait training on improving the balance control and mobility skills among intellectual disable patients.

Detailed Description

Previous studies had done a lot of work in improving balance and mobility skills by combining both motor and cognitive dual gait training (CDT and MDT) techniques among Down syndrome, Parkinsonism and so on but not a single study was conducted in order to determine the comparative effects of CDT and MDT especially in intellectual disability individuals to improve balance so the study was conducted in order to find the comparative effect for the better understanding of the treatment effects.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Motor dual-task gait training	Motor dual-task gait training	Motor dual task gait training was the protocol which performed by the patients after the measurement of the balance and gait ability
Cognitive dual-task gait training	Cognitive dual-task gait training	Cognitive dual task gait training was the protocol which performed by the patients after the measurement of the balance and gait ability

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Berg Balance Scale	4th week	Berg Balance Scale is the most reliable tool used for the assessment of balance performance among patients having balance problems and disease causing balance issues.
Stair climb test	4th week	Stair climbing test is the valid tool for assessing the velocity and level of mobility within the time as the patient asked to climb up and down the stairs and therapist record the number of the steps which are taken within the time period having MIC of -0.6 with 95% confidence interval
Rancho Los Amigos Cognitive functional scales	4th week	Ranchos Los Amigos Scale is the reliable tool for assessing the cognitive function of the patient as the scale score form grade 1 to 8 with ten level descriptive scale where grade 1 have zero response while grade 8 shows the activate participation of the patient with cut off value for 5. It is the most reliable and valid assessment tool
Walking while talking test	4th week	Walking while talking is the time measuring tool for assessing the risk of fall and gait performance in the intellectual disable patients as in this test the patient asked to narrate repeated words during walking for 20 feet having ICC= 0.89-0.99
