The Effect of Dual Motor-cognitive Task Training on Inter-join Coordination during Walking in Elderly with Balance Impairment
Introduction: In recent years, the effect of cognitive exercises on improving gait parameters has been studied, but the effects of these exercises on coordination inter-joint of the lower limbs have received less attention. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dual task motor-cognitive training on inter-join coordination during walking in elderly with balance impair...
متن کاملUpper-Extremity Dual-Task Function: An Innovative Method to Assess Cognitive Impairment in Older Adults
BACKGROUND Difficulties in orchestrating simultaneous tasks (i.e., dual-tasking) have been associated with cognitive impairments in older adults. Gait tests have been commonly used as the motor task component for dual-task assessments; however, many older adults have mobility impairments or there is a lack of space in busy clinical settings. We assessed an upper-extremity function (UEF) test as...

متن کاملOral trail making task as a discriminative tool for different levels of cognitive impairment and normal aging.
The Trail Making Test (TMT) is a useful measure of executive dysfunction in elderly subjects. This study aims to investigate the discriminative validity of the oral version of the TMT (OTMT), which can be administered to subjects with visual or motor disabilities, in elderly patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI; n = 30), Alzheimer's disease (AD; n = 30), and healthy controls (HCs; n = 2...
