Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if a 6 month mind-motor intervention will help to improve overall brain health in adults over the age of 55 with type 2 diabetes and a self-reported complaint about memory or thinking skills. It is hypothesized that the intervention group will show improvements in their overall brain health after 6 months of mind-motor training compared to the control group.

Square-stepping exercise

In a group setting, an instructor will demonstrate walking patterns on a gridded mat to the participants and the participants must memorize and repeat the patterns on their own. This program has over 200 patterns that increase in difficulty from beginner to advanced. Eighty percent of the group must successfully complete the patterns to move onto the next pattern. Social engagement is encouraged.
