Research Design: Experimental study. Randomized Control Trial
Clinical setting: Chakwal Study duration: 6 months
Data will be collected on Demographics and general information Cognitive function will be assessed with the help of MOCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale). Balance will be assessed with the help of BBS (Berg Balance Scale). Dynamic postural stability will be assessed with the help of TUG (Time Up and Go test).
SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY:
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a major risk factor for dementia among older adults, although research into its neurological features is limited. Addressing this gap is crucial given the interrelationship of balance issues and cognitive decline. Combining balance training with gaze stability exercises provides a comprehensive intervention method that shows potential for improving both balance and cognitive function. Studies have highlighted the potential benefits of these therapies for improving overall well-being and functional independence in older persons with MCI. Investigating their combined effects provides valuable insights into optimizing rehabilitation strategies for cognitive function, balance, and dynamic postural stability, thereby contributing to improving quality of life and reducing fall risk in this vulnerable population. This research aims to add data to the existing literature
, exploring tailored interventions that address both physical and cognitive aspects simultaneously. By providing understanding on the effectiveness of such interventions, this study seeks to enhance the care and management of older adults with MCI, ultimately promoting better outcomes and quality of life for this population.
