Cognitive Dysfunction in COPD Patients : Role in the Performance of Cognitive-motor Dual Task Situation? (DysCo)

December 19, 2016 updated by: 5 Santé

Impact of Cognitive Dysfunction in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease on Performance in Cognitive-motor Dual Task Situation

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a respiratory disease starting point characterized by multiple systemic effects as cognitive dysfunction. This one seems to have an impact in activity daily living, considered mainly as a cognitive-motor dual task situations. Yet to date, no study has specifically focused in the cognitive-motor performance in patients with COPD or on the effects during a rehabilitation program. The main objective of this work was to evaluate the impact of cognitive dysfunction in COPD, comparing performance between COPD patients and healthy subjects in a single and dual task cognitive-motor situation. The secondary objective was to assess the impact of a rehabilitation program on these performances.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Volunteers
Cognitive and motor performances were measured in a single and dual task situations.
COPD patients
Cognitive and motor performances were measured in a single and dual task situations, before rehabilitation, and compared to those of healthy subjects. Then, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease patients were re-evaluated after rehabilitation.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Variability of Cognitive performances in a single and dual task situations
Time Frame: 3 months
Cognitive performance were determined by error count and number of substraction during a counting task.
3 months
Variability of motor performances in a single and dual task situations
Time Frame: 3 months
Motor performance were determined by variability of length and surface of postural condition and by step variability in locomotion condition
3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Effect of rehabilitation program on Cognitive performances in a single and dual task
Time Frame: 3 months
Comparison before and after rehabilitation program of counting task (number of substraction and error count)
3 months
Effect of rehabilitation program on motor performances in a single and dual task
Time Frame: 3 months
Comparison before and after rehabilitation program of variability of length and surface of postural condition and step variability in locomotion condition
