April 15, 2022 updated by: Riphah International University

Comparative Effects of Motor and Cognitive Dual-task Gait Training on Balance and Mobility in Persons With Intellectual Disabilities

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.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

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.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
EXPERIMENTAL: 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
Other: Motor dual-task gait training
Patients were instructed to walk either on treadmill or on the land. During walk; patients were instructed to perform five tasks. The patients performed tossing and catching the ball, rehanging loops on hoops, buttoning and unbuttoning the shirts, holding the cup in water without the spilling and receiving with returning the water. Each activity were performed for three minute and 15 minutes were provided for performing all the tasks
EXPERIMENTAL: 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
Other: Cognitive dual-task gait training
Patients were instructed to walk either on treadmill or on the land. During walk; patients were instructed to perform five tasks. The patients performed sharp coloring, subtraction, counting, verbal analogical reasoning and backward spelling. Each activity were performed for three minute and 15 minutes were provided for performing all the tasks

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rancho Los Amigos Cognitive functional scales
Time Frame: 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
4th week
Berg Balance Scale
Time Frame: 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.
4th week
Walking while talking test
Time Frame: 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
4th week
Stair climb test
Time Frame: 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
4th week
