Development and Evaluation of a Home-Based Dual-Task Training Program to Improve Balance Performance for Older Adults
21. juli 2015 oppdatert av: Patima Silsupadol, Chiang Mai University
The purpose of this study is to (1) develop and test the effectiveness of home-based interventions on dual-task performance in older adults; and (2) determine the generalizability of the four trainings (i.e.
single-task motor training, single-task cognitive training, dual-task motor-cognitive training, and dual-task cognitive-cognitive trainings) to novel tasks.

Detaljert beskrivelse
Although, dual-task motor-cognitive training has proven to be more effective in improving dual-task balance performance than traditional single-task motor training, poor evidence of training-related transfer to a novel dual task has been shown. Additionally, another important impediment to the development of intervention to improve dual-task balance performance is that the previous studies have largely focused on training in a laboratory, or clinical setting, often with one-on-one supervision by a therapist or research assistant. Even though the home-based approach is more pragmatic, desirable, and encourages accessibility, no study has been done to examine the efficacy of home-based dual-task training.
Therefore, this study aims to address these gaps in the literature by conducting a home-based program designed to improve dual-task performance with a broader transfer-of-training effects in older adults. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups (i.e. single-task motor training, single-task cognitive training, dual-task motor-cognitive training, and dual-task cognitive-cognitive trainings).

Våpen og intervensjoner
Deltakergruppe / Arm |
Intervensjon / Behandling |
|---|---|
|
Eksperimentell: Single-task motor training group
The participants will receive only balance training which will progress from stance activities, to stance activities plus hand manipulation, then gait activities, and finally gait activities plus hand manipulation.
|
Balance activities, using a task-oriented approach, progress participants from body stability, to body stability plus hand manipulation, then body transport, and finally body transport plus hand manipulation.
|
|
Eksperimentell: Single-task cognitive training group
The participants will receive cognitive training that will involve executive function, attention, and working memory.
|
Cognitive training involves executive function, attention, and working memory.
Examples of cognitive training include finding the exit to a maze, calculation, visual-spatial skills, Sudoku, Stroop color-word task, word search, spot the differences, visual discrimination, and memory scanning skills.
|
|
Eksperimentell: Dual-task motor-cognitive training group
The participants assigned to the dual-task motor-cognitive training group will receive the same exercises as single-task motor training while simultaneously performing secondary tasks as those in the single-task cognitive training group.

The Center of Mass velocity and Base of Support distance
Tidsramme: At baseline and after 4-week training
|
The Center of Mass velocity and Base of Support distance is referred as the direction of the center of mass velocity in relation to base of support.
It is used to measure the control of dynamic balance throughout gait under single-task and dual-task conditions in order to examine training effect.
