First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether two different ways of delivering dual-task training—which combines physical exercises with mental challenges—can improve balance, thinking, and quality of life in older adults with mild to moderate cognitive impairment. Participants will be assigned to either immediate or progressive standing training, both delivered by a physiotherapist over eight weeks. The study aims to see which approach offers greater benefits for everyday function.
