Trial Outcomes & Findings for Cognitive Training and Dual-task Ability (NCT NCT01895608)

NCT ID: NCT01895608

Last Updated: 2017-06-19

Results Overview

Timed up and go test (TUG) has three conditions: no secondary task (TUG), cognitive (TUGc) and manual dual-tasks (TUG-m). Time to complete the task with the cognitive task was recorded as a primary outcome measure. Time greater than 15 s for TUG-c indicates impaired dual-task ability.

Cognitive Training (Speed of Processing)
Speed of processing cognitive training involves systematically increasing the complexity of visual tasks. Task demands are increased by reducing stimulus duration, adding visual or auditory distractors, increasing number of concurrent tasks or increasing the visual field.

Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) assesses gait under 8 conditions and has excellent interrater as well as test-retest reliability. Each of the 8 conditions is scored on a scale from 0 (indicating severe impairment) to 3 (indicating normal ability). The total score is used for statistical analysis with a maximum score of 24 and a minimum score of 0 with a higher score indicating better performance. A total DGI score less than 20 out of 24 indicates fall risk.

SOT is organized into a series of 6 conditions of increasing difficulty: 3 involve a firm surface with eyes open, eyes closed and with vision sway-referenced and 3 involve a sway-referenced surface with eyes open, eyes closed, and with vision sway-referenced. SOT has good reliability and differentiates fallers and nonfallers. The SOT composite score is used for statistical analysis with a maximum score of 100 (indicating perfect stability) and a minimum score of 0 (indicating severe instability). Higher scores indicate better performance (i.e., greater postural stability) and SOT composite scores less than 38 out of 100 indicate fall risk.

Subjects' decreased confidence in a variety of situations will be measured using the Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale which has good test-retest reliability. Sixteen activities are each assessed on a scale ranging from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate greater confidence in performing the activity. Item scores are averaged to arrive at a final score, where average scores \<67% indicate a greater fall risk.
