Interventions

  • Immediate standing dual task training — OTHER
    Motor-cognitive dual-task training is a rehabilitation intervention delivered by a physiotherapist over 8 weeks, with three sessions per week, each lasting 45 minutes. Every session consists of a 5-minute warm-up, 30-35 minutes of dual-task training, and a 5-minute cool-down. It simultaneously combines motor and cognitive tasks. Motor components include marching in place, finger tapping, hand transfer activities, side stepping, weight shifting, heel raises, heel-toe stepping, and balance challenges. Cognitive components include naming animals or fruits, counting forward, and months, serial subtraction by threes, backward digit span, alternate naming, and word recall. Participants allocated to the Immediate Standing intervention perform all dual-task activities in standing from the first treatment session.

Participants allocated to the Progressive Standing intervention initially perform dual-task activities sitting and progressively transition to standing during the intervention period.
