Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of cognitive-functional dual-task training on balance, gait and cognitive function in patients with mild to moderate dementia.
Methods: A total 36 participants were randomly assigned to three groups: cognitive-functional dual-task training (n=11), functional training (n=13), and control group (n=12). There were given 30-minute training for 2day/week, in total 24 times over 12 weeks.
Results: Participants in the cognitive-functional dual-task triaining group showed significant improvement in balance and gait than the patients in the functional training and control groups (p<.05). There was significant improvement in cognitive function in all groups (p<0.5).
Conclusions: Cognitive-functional dual-task training appers to have contributed the improvement dementia patient’s physical and cognitive function. Dual-task training is necessary to preventing the progression of severity and maintaining residual function in dementia patients.
