Brief Summary

Aging is a dynamic process that affects motor and cognitive functions. Activities of daily living and functionality, including dual task performance, are also negatively affected by these functions. The purpose of this study is to determine of balance training with dual task on cognitive function and functionality.

Study Arms (2)

balance exercise group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The balance program was performed on soft and hard surface. Firstly the participants started the exercises on hard ground while standing. Postural balance program consisted of static and dynamic functional balance exercises (hıp flexion, hıp abduciton, semitandem stance, one leg stance, toe tips lifting). Afterwards exercises were performed on soft surface. Three sets of eight to ten repetitions of each exercise in a slow, controlled manner were performed. This section was completed 30 minitues.

Other: Dual task exercises

Dual task exercises

EXPERIMENTAL

Dual task exercises are in two forms as motor dual task and cognitive dual task. In this study we used cognitive secondary task exercises. In addition to the exercises applied by the balance exercise group, a cognitive task was added. Participants in this group tried to count 4, 5 and 7 back from 100 while practicing balance exercises. The balance program was performed on soft and hard surface. Firstly the participants started the exercises on hard ground while standing. Postural balance program consisted of static and dynamic functional balance exercises (hıp flexion, hıp abduciton, semitandem stance, one leg stance, toe tips lifting). Afterwards exercises were performed on soft surface. Three sets of eight to ten repetitions of each exercise in a slow, controlled manner were performed. This section was completed 30 minitues.

Interventions

Dual task exercises OTHER

Dual tasks, often also referred to as secondary tasks, present an objective-direct measurement in which two tasks are to be performed simultaneously to observe performance drops in either task.
