Immediate vs progressive standing dual-task training for older adults with mild to moderate cognitive impairment

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The trial compares two standing dual-task training approaches in adults aged 55 and older who have mild or moderate cognitive impairment. Participants are assigned to either immediate standing dual-task training or progressive standing dual-task training and are evaluated on balance, cognition, executive function, mobility, and quality of life. Outcomes will inform which approach better supports physical function and daily living for this population. The study is conducted at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences in Islamabad with Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University as the lead sponsor.
