Effects of Physical-Cognitive Training With Different Task Models on Dual-Task Walking in Parkinson's Disease With Mild Cognitive Impairment

The present study will characterize exercise model effects (integrated model vs. consecutive model) of physical-cognitive exercise on dual-task walking control in Parkinson's disease with mild cognitive impairment.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Integrated training model

Participants in this group will accept postural and cognitive training at the same time, e.g. naming animals while standing on the foam.

Each training session will last for 70 minutes, twice a week, and 12 sessions in total.

Perform a postural task and a cognitive task at the same time (dual-task model) 70 minutes/session*2 sessions/week*6 weeks
Experimental: Consecutive training model

Participants in this group will accept postural and cognitive training separately and for identical durations (both 30 minutes).

Each training session will last for 70 minutes, twice a week, and 12 sessions in total.

Perform a postural task and a cognitive task separately for identical durations 70 minutes/session*2 sessions/week*6 weeks
