New treatment option for Mild Cognitive Impairment
Official title Dual Task Perturbation Training for OAwMCI
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04938349
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Studies have determined that compared to cognitively intact older adults (CIOA), older adults with mild cognitive impairment (OAwMCI) exhibit more pronounced balance and gait impairments which lead to an increased risk of falls and mobility decline. Such impairments are evident during dual-tasking (i.e., simultaneous performance of cognitive and motor task) and OAwMCI have demonstrated an increased cognitive-motor interference (deteriorated performance of either or both cognitive/motor task).
