Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of eight weeks of cognitive motor training (dual task) in the risk of falls, balance, independence in basic activities of daily living (BADL) and handgrip in institutionalized elderly.

Methods: The sample was divided in two groups: double task group (DTG), consists of five elderly, undergoing a training consists of motor and cognitive activities and control group (CG) consists of four seniors who underwent conventional kinesiotherapeutic training, based on global stretching and strengthening exercises, both held in 16 sessions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Experimental, prospective and quantitative study, whose sample was selected for convenience in a long-term care institution for the elderly (LTCF) in the city of Uberaba - MG. The volunteers were divided into two groups, named dual task group (DTG) consists of five seniors, and control group (CG) consists of four elderly. All participants of both groups answered a questionnaire with sociodemographic and economic characteristics of the sample. Participants underwent a pre- and post evaluation containing vital signs parameters (blood pressure, respiratory rate and heart rate), anthropometric data (weight and height) and different tests to evaluate the balance, functional mobility, risk of falls, muscle strength and independence to carry out basic activities of daily living. The performed tests were Timed Up and Go (TUG) conventional, motor TUG and TUG cognitive, beyond Romberg test and Sensitized Romberg, Berg Balance Scale, and modified Katz scale (with maintenance of the six original activities of the scale, but with simulation to the performance of each task, measuring the spent time).
