Effect Of Dual-Task Training To Improve Balance And Adl Performance In Older Adults In Indian Population
Main Article Content
Abstract
Aim-To identify the effect of dual-task training to improve balance and ADL performance among older adults in Indian population.
Objective-To evaluate the effect of dual-task training to improve balance and ADL performance among older adults in Indian population.
Background- Elderly people are vulnerable to functional impairments. Common activities like rising from the chair, reaching top shelves, activities requiring postural responses, functional activities like walking, climbing stairs becomes challenging and risky.
Methodology: -The study took place at old age home, Noida. The consent form has been given at the beginning of the study each subject explained about the protocol. Pre assessment has been done at the beginning of the study and post assessment has been done after the 4 weeks of the study along with that follow up assessment has been done after 1 week. Each patient received sessions for 1 hour for 5 days in a week for 4 weeks.
Result: -The study's findings shows a significant improvement in balance and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) performance among older adults following the dual task training intervention. Conclusion In conclusion, the findings from the t-test assessing the impact of dual-task training on balance and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) performance among older adults present compelling evidence of its effectiveness. The significant improvements observed in both the Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA) and KATZ results underscore the positive impact of the intervention on mobility, balance, and independence in daily activities for older adults in India.
