Effect of Dual Task Balance Training on Cognitive Functions in People With Mental Retarded

With this study, it will be tried to determine whether the addition of physiotherapy program to the education of mentally disabled individuals is effective and necessary in terms of mental performance.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Cognitive Rehabilitation
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: dual task balance training

Detailed Description

Mental disability levels IQ = 50-79 individuals with mild / border mental disabilities will be included in the study. The disability status of the individuals will be determined by the health report, and the cognitive status of the individuals will be determined by the report given as a result of the evaluation made by the Guidance Research Centers of the National Education Directorates. The 45-person study group will be randomized to 3 groups of 15 persons each. The first group will not be subjected to any application except education. The second group will be the control group and will be taken to the balance training in addition to normal education. In the third group, dual task balance training will be applied within the scope of cognitive rehabilitation

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: control 1; The control 1 group will not be subjected to any application except education.
Active Comparator: control 2; The control 2 group will be the control group and will be taken to the balance training in addition to normal education.	Other: dual task balance training; The studies were planned to be 2 times a week for 12 weeks. The 20-minute Dual Task balance training program is planned to be composed of two sections of 10 minutes. In the first 10 min section, the individual will exercise with the multi-task mode of CogniBoard on the balance ball. . Stroop study will be performed on the balance ball in the second 10 minutes of the exercise.; Other Names: classic balance training

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
cognitive functions	short-term memory(visual memory test, memorize the squares,number of correct choices), İnformation processing speed (space bar presses in response to non-target stimulus to be impulsive behavior. number of errors), Focusing and Perception (space bar presses in response to a target stimulus.The difference between the number of target stimuli that appeared in the test and the number of correct responses gives the number of omission errors. )	3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
motor functions	balance (walking forward a line, number of steps), coordination(jumping in place-same sides synchronized-number of correct form) , manual dexterity(transferring pennies-number of 15 sec.), gross motor skills and upper-limb coordination (dribling a ball-alternating hands-number of dribbles)	3 months
