Priti Agni [2] | Ruchi Brid
Abstract: Falls in geriatric population is mainly during dual task. This study was carried out to investigate effect of single task training versus dual task training on balance in geriatrics. Eleven males and 10 females in age group of 66-70 year of age and 4 males and 5 females of 71-75 year of age were randomly divided in three groups, 10 participants each (i) single task group, (ii) motor-motor group, (iii) motor-cognitive group. Balance training was given thrice a week for 2 weeks; duration of each session of training was 20 minutes. The outcome measures were functional reach test, Tinneti score, Berg’s balance scale. There was a significant improvement in balance in all three training groups. Motor cognitive dual task training was found to be the most effective as compared to single task and motor-motor dual task training.
