Integrated vs. Sequential 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 integrated dual-task training with sequential dual-task training in older adults who have mild to moderate cognitive impairment. Participants are randomly assigned to either the integrated approach or the sequential approach, with outcome measures focused on cognitive function and physical performance. The program targets everyday tasks like walking while counting or other cognitive challenges to promote neuroplasticity. The study is conducted at PIMS Hospital Islamabad, led by Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University. Eligibility includes age over 55 and specific MoCA and MMSE ranges.
