Detailed Description

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

This is a single blinded, randomized controlled trial. 40 community-dwelling older adults will be recruited and randomly assigned to either experimental group (n=20) or control group (n=20). The 12-week intervention comprises of 1-hour exercise per day and 3 days per week. The experimental group will receive interactive stepping exercise while the control group will be put under home exercise program. Primary outcome measures are executive function and gait variability. Secondary outcome measures include community walking test and other gait parameters (gait velocity, stride length and stride time). The participants will receive assessment at pre- and post-intervention

Interactive Stepping Exercise

Interactive Stepping Exercise (1 hour, 3 times/week, 12 weeks)

The 1-hour training program will start with10 minutes warm-up session, after that 40 minutes of ISE, and ended with 10 minutes of cool down session.

Interactive Stepping Exercise (ISE) will perform on a thin mat that was partitioned into 24 squares. The ISE program included forward, backward, lateral and oblique steps, and step patterns were progressively made more complicated.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Interactive Stepping Exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Interactive Stepping Exercise will perform on a thin mat, stepping pattern will display through a monitor screen, immediate auditory feedback will give for adjustment

Home exercise program

60 minutes, 3 times/week, 12 weeks of home exercise

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Home exercise program

Intervention Type OTHER

Home exercise program includes stretching exercise, general strengthening exercise on lower extremity muscles, posture control and balance exercise.
