Abstract

Purpose: To examine the feasibility and effectiveness of dual task (DT) exergaming to improve volitional balance control in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

Methods: Ten older adults with MCI were examined at baseline (week-0) and post-training (week-5) on volitional balance control (maximum excursion of center of gravity, MXE [%]) while performing cognitive task (auditory clock test or letter number sequencing task) and on the NIH-motor and cognitive toolboxes. DT exergaming training lasted for 12 sessions which consisted of performing explicit cognitive tasks while playing the Wii-Fit balance games.

Results: From pre- to post-training, MXE improved (p<0.05); however, cognitive accuracy (cognitive task) remained the same (p>0.05). Improvement in NIH motor and cognitive toolbox tests was observed post-training (p<0.05).

Conclusion: DT exergaming was associated to improvements in balance control under attention-demanding conditions in MCI. Future studies may focus on examining the efficacy of such training.

老年轻度认知障碍患者双任务练习与认知运动干扰的关联:一项单组先导研究。

目的:探讨双任务练习改善老年轻度认知障碍(MCI)患者意志平衡控制的可行性和有效性。方法:在基线(第0周)和训练后(第5周)对10名老年轻度认知障碍患者在执行认知任务(听觉时钟测试或字母数字排序任务)和nih -运动和认知工具箱时的意志平衡控制(重心最大偏移，MXE[%])进行检查。DT运动训练持续了12次，包括在玩wi - fit平衡游戏的同时执行明确的认知任务。结果:与训练前相比，MXE有显著提高(p0.05)。结论:DT训练与轻度认知损伤患者注意要求条件下平衡控制的改善有关。未来的研究可能会集中在检查这种训练的效果上。
