简要总结
Dementia, a part of geriatric syndrome, is characterized by the deterioration of multiple cognitive domains such as memory, language, orientation, learning and personality as a result of damage to the central nervous system and in terms prognosis persistent and often progressive clinical condition. In the epidemiological studies it is stated that the number of the dementia affected people approximately 2 times in every 20 years. In several studies, it has been mentioned that cognitive disorders affect individuals' motor function such as gait and postural responses. These effects lead to a vicious circle by causing immobilization of individuals due to a decrease in cognitive functions in addition to immobilization due to aging. The lack of pharmacological therapies to change the prognosis of dementia, emphasizes physical activity methods due to its neurological contributions. However, due to the fact that conventional exercise programs are seen as boring in terms of elderly individuals and the exercise attendance rates are low, the virtual reality (VR) training have been preferred recently. To the best of the investigator's knowledge, there is no study examining the effect of different virtual reality trainings on the spatio-temporal characteristics of the gait, posture and balance. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of different virtual reality trainings on these parameters.

结局指标
主要结局
gait speed
时间窗: change from baseline at 6 weeks
Gait speed was assessed by BTS G-Walk inertial sensor. The sensor, connected to the Lumbal 4-5 intervertebral space via a semi-elastic belt, transfers the spatiotemporal characteristics of the gait to the computer via Bluetooth® 3.0 (G-Studio® software). In our study, participants were asked to walk in a corridor of 8 meters.
次要结局
- Spatiotemporal Characteristics of Gait(change from baseline at 6 weeks)
- Berg Balance Scale(change from baseline at 6 weeks)
- Timed Up and Go Test(change from baseline at 6 weeks)
- New York Posture Scale(change from baseline at 6 weeks)
