Effects of Dual-Task Training In Individuals With Alzheimer

It is a frequently used test that evaluates functional mobility and dynamic balance. At the beginning of the test, individuals sit in a chair. A distance of 3 m is set in front of the patient. With the start command, the patient gets up from his seat and walks 3 m, turns around and walks back and sits. With the start command, the time until the moment of sitting on the chair is recorded in seconds.Shorter duration indicates better functional mobility.

5XSST evaluates lower extremity functional strength, transitional movements, balance and fall risk. The time it takes for the participant to sit and get up from a chair 5 times is recorded in seconds. Interpretations are made about balance and fall risk by comparing the norm times for age with the time the individual completes the test.

CRIq assesses an individual's cognitive reserve through compiling information about their entire adult life. If the participant has a suspected or confirmed cognitive weakness, the questionnaire must be answered by a family member or caregiver. The total score is obtained by recording the frequency of the individual's educational life, work and leisure activities in years. According to the score, the participant's cognitive reserve is interpreted as low, low - medium, medium, medium - high or high

There are two versions of the scale: patient and family member/caregiver. In order to maximize construct validity, the scale is filled in independently by both patients and caregivers. It consists of questions asked about different aspects of life in order to determine the quality of life of the person. For each question, they are asked to choose the most appropriate one from the Poor, Fair, Good or Excellent answers.Higher scores indicate better quality of life.

The scale consists of 30 questions questioning how the participant felt in the past week. The person is asked to give the appropriate Yes(0) or No(1) answer to each question.Scores higher than 5 indicate depression.

The Dual Task Questionnaire assesses the frequency of difficulties experienced by individuals with neurological injury or disease during activities of daily living that involve dual tasks. DTQ is scored between 0-40. Higher scores indicate more frequent dual-task difficulties.

The scale consists of 14 items. On a scale of 0 to 10 (on the scale), the participant asked how safe they feel doing each of these activities without falling, with 0 being "not safe/not sure", 5 "quite safe/quite confident", and 10 "completely safe/ are asked to rate it in terms of being completely sure.

Scoring is made between 0-30 on the scale in which the sub-headings of orientation, recording memory, attention and calculation, recall, language are evaluated.Lesser scores indicate worse cognitive function.
