Introduction Elderly individuals
Dementia disorders Degenerative
Alzheimer 's disease
Parkinson's disease Etc.
Vascular Post-stroke vascular dementia Dementia with small vessel diseases
Reversible < 5~10%
3
Introduction Cognitive impairment
Dual-Task (DT) Physical exercise training
Balance Mobility Walking
4
Introduction Dual-Task Tai Chi (DTTC)
Using Kinect Include
DT Balance Cognitive ability
12-week program of DTTC training A total of 41 elderly individuals
Training group: n = 26 Control group: n = 15
5
Methods Participants
Age>= 65 Independent ambulation Measurement of physical fitness Rapid Dementia Screening Test(RDST)
scored 8 or greater
6
Methods Interventions
Control group(CG) 75-min standardized training
Training group(TG) 75-min standardized training 5-min DTTC training
9
Methods Outcome measures
Trail-making test (TMT) Visual-scanning task Cognitive flexibility
Verbal fluency test (VFT)
10
Discussion Using ΔTMT score significantly improved
after DTTC training. DTTC training, has a positive impact on
DT ability and the prevention of falling. TMT-A & B scores were not significantly
improved. VFT was not significantly changed.
14
Discussion Limitations
Interventions Not due solely to the DTTC
Health issues Fall risk minimization
15
Conclusion ANCOVA results of ΔTMT reveal
Group x time Statistically significant
DTTC training Effective to improve Executive Cognitive
