简要总结
The present study is to examine the effects of interactive stepping exercise on executive function and gait variability in community-dwelling older adults
详细描述
This is a single blinded, randomized controlled trial. 40 community-dwelling older adults will be recruited and randomly assigned to either experimental group (n=20) or control group (n=20). The 12-week intervention comprises of 1-hour exercise per day and 3 days per week. The experimental group will receive interactive stepping exercise while the control group will be put under home exercise program. Primary outcome measures are executive function and gait variability. Secondary outcome measures include community walking test and other gait parameters (gait velocity, stride length and stride time). The participants will receive assessment at pre- and post-intervention

研究组 & 干预措施
Interactive Stepping Exercise
Interactive Stepping Exercise (1 hour, 3 times/week, 12 weeks)
The 1-hour training program will start with10 minutes warm-up session, after that 40 minutes of ISE, and ended with 10 minutes of cool down session.
Interactive Stepping Exercise (ISE) will perform on a thin mat that was partitioned into 24 squares. The ISE program included forward, backward, lateral and oblique steps, and step patterns were progressively made more complicated.
干预措施: Interactive Stepping Exercise (Other)
Home exercise program
60 minutes, 3 times/week, 12 weeks of home exercise
干预措施: Home exercise program (Other)
