简要总结
There is a significant amount of research on perturbation-based balance training for fall prevention in older-adults. Another issue observed in older adults is cognitive function impairment and there is a correlation between cognitive impairments and balance, mild cognitive impairments, an earlier stage of dementia, is associated with poor gait function. Furthermore, subjects who have a decline in both cognitive and motor abilities have a higher risk of fall. Art therapy has shown potential in improving cognitive function which could, in turn, contribute to enhanced balance (faster). Hence, no study has been done till yet on art therapy with perturbation-based balance training.
