LSVT Big and Dual Task Training in Cognitive Impaired Patients

The goal of this study ifs to determine the comparative effects of Lee Silverman voice treatment Big and dual task training on balance, cognition and functional mobility in older adults with cognitive impairment.

Perform LSVT big four times in a week for about 4 months. Perform dual task training four times in a week for about 4 months. Complete assessments at baseline, the 4th, 8th, 12th weeks, and a follow-up at the 16th week.

Outcome measures include Mini BESTest, MoCA, stroop test and time up and go test. Statistical analyses will assess within-group and between-group effects based on data distribution.

About this study

This study, titled "Effects of of lee Silverman voice treatment big and dual task training on balance, cognition and functional mobility in older adults with cognitive impairment" aims to assess the combined effectiveness of Lee Silverman voice treatment and dual task training in older adults with cognitive impairment.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Both male and female patients.
  • Age limit for patients will be above 65.
  • Patients with Mild and moderate cognitive impairment patients MoCA 13-25.
  • Patients with Berge balance scale value 41-50.
  • Patients who give consent to participate in study and undergo relevant test.

Exclusion criteria

Treatment and study plan

Lee Silverman treatment big

Other

Half of the treatment sessions consist of standardized multidirectional whole-body movements performed with maximal amplitude of reaching and stepping. The second half is designed to address individual deficits in movement that occur in activities of daily living.

Dosage: 4 consecutive days a week for 12 weeks (16 sessions in one month) for 60 minutes Repetitions: minimum 8-16 repetitions/task

Dual task training

Other

Group B will receive cognitive motor dual task training for 60 minutes, 4 times a week for 12 weeks. The intervention include both motor and cognitive components.

Primary outcomes

  1. Mini BESTest

    Time frame: 4th week

    It is a short form of the BESTest which include 14 items only. The Mini-BESTest includes asses aspects of dynamic balance control also and control while walking and performing a cognitive task.

  2. MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment (For Cognition)

    Time frame: 4th week

    The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is cognitive screening tool which include 30 points. It measures visuospatial, short term memory, orientation, language, executive functioning along with attention/concentration/working memory.

  3. Stroop test

    Time frame: 4th week

    The Stroop task is one of the most widely used measures of cognitive functioning. The Stroop test requires participants to name the color in which a presented word is printed. Numerous studies have shown that participants need more time to name ink colors of incongruent words than to name ink colors of control patches.

  4. Time up and go test

    Time frame: 4th week

    Timed Up and Go (TUG) have been used in clinical settings as a measure of physical performance in older adults with and without cognitive dysfunction. This test requires people to stand up from a chair, walk 3 m, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down again.
