Summary

Most of the daily life activities include dual task performance. Unlike conventional physiotherapy approaches, dual task training aims to improve both motor performance and cognitive performance at the same time. Geriatric rehabilitation approaches in Turkey; single task training (containing only motor performance) is applied to older adults for walking and balance disorders. Recent studies have shown gait parameters and balance abilities are influenced cognitive function and also dual task training is had to include in rehabilitation programs in order to improve walking and balance skills of the healthy elderly. In Turkey, a similar study is not found. The goal of this study is to evaluate in healthy elderly, effect of dual-task and single-task training on gait performance, and their effect on the balance abilities and functional mobility also to evaluate advantages one to another and to gain a different perspective to geriatric rehabilitation for the elderly in Turkey.
