Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 10
Abstract
AIM: Aim of this study is to assess the appropriate strategy between (two) different dual task (cognitivemotor and motor-motor) for improving balance and gait in elderly people. Methodology: 60Subjects were randomly selected from the community who volunteered to participate in the study. Subjects were randomly assigned in to three interventions: cognitive-motor dual task training, motor-motor dual task training and single balance training. Subjects were received 45 minute individualized training sessions3 times a weeks. Outcome measure; BBS, POMA, OPQOL were collected at before and after intervention. Results: Subjects in all groups improved on the BBS, POMA and OPQOL. When we compared the three groups, we found that cognitive-motor dual task training was far superior than either motor- motor dual task training and balance training. Significant improvement in balance , gait and quality of life (p<0.05) Also out of motor-motor dual task training and balance training, balance training group showed better improvements. Conclusion: It can be concluded from our study that the cognitive –motor dual task training is better than motor-motor dual task training and balance training over the balance, gait and quality of life in elderly
