Training of Balance Under Single- and Dual-Task Conditions in Older Adults With Balance Impairment - Case Report -Autoren:
Abstract
Background and Purpose.
Traditionally, rehabilitation programs emphasize training balance under
single-task conditions to improve balance and reduce
risk for falls. The purpose of this case report is
to describe 3 balance training approaches in older adults with impaired
balance.
Case Descriptions. Three patients were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 interventions: (1) single-task balance training, (2) dual-task training under
a fixed-priority instructional set, and (3) dual-task training under a variable-priority instructional set.
Outcomes. The patients
who received balance training under dual-task conditions showed
dual-task training benefits; these training
benefits were maintained for 3 months. The patient
who received variable-priority training showed improvement on novel dual
tasks.
Discussion. Older adults
may be able to improve their balance under dual-task conditions only
following specific types of balance training.
This case report gives insight on how this
intervention might be combined with more traditional physical therapy
intervention.
