Summary

The study aims to evaluate the effects of balance training, with and without gaze stability exercises, on cognitive function, balance, and postural stability in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A randomized controlled trial with 30 participants will be conducted at Fauji Foundation Hospital and Chakwal. Participants will be divided into two groups: one receiving balance training with gaze stability exercises, and the other receiving balance training alone. Baseline, 4-week, and 8-week assessments will measure cognitive function (Montreal Cognitive Assessment), balance (Berg Balance Scale), and mobility (Time Up and Go test). Training will consist of 24 sessions over 8 weeks, with sessions lasting 30-50 minutes.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Balance training group

It includes participants receiving balance training for mild cognitive impairment. Balance training Walking on a flat surface at the beginning of each session for 5-10 minutes Perform different static and dynamic balance exercises along with cognitive tasks. Static standing with feet together with eyes open and closed Semi-tandem stand and tandem stand Forward and backward weight shift exercises Counting backwards by threes, Naming object or animals, Recalling a short sequence of numbers or words. Side stepping, marching, forward and backward walking Hip extension and abduction Cognitive task includes word association or simple math problems. Standing on one leg Relaxation and breathing exercises including deep inhaling and exhaling or walking slowly at the end of each session for 5-10 minutes During training sessions, balance activities and cognitive tasks will be implemented simultaneously.
