Summary

The investigators propose to conduct a single-blind randomized clinical trial to test the efficacy of a computerized cognitive remediation intervention program on improving locomotion in sedentary seniors, a group at an especially high risk for disability. The hypothesis is that executive functions will respond to the cognitive remediation program and in turn enhance locomotion.

Conditions

  • Mobility Limitation
  • Motor Activity
  • Difficulty Walking
  • Cognitive Ability General

Interventions

OTHER

Cognitive Remediation

This computerized program has successfully been used by seniors in different settings. It trains a number of cognitive processes including attention and Executive Function.The Cognitive Remediation (CREM) training is constructed based on the program's built in baseline cognitive evaluation.

OTHER

Active Control

Computer, multimedia and group based health education programs.
