Dual-task treadmill training for the prevention of falls in parkinson’s disease : rationale and study design
Abstract: Various factors, such as fear of falling, postural instability, and altered executive function, contribute to the high risk of falling in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Dual-task training is an established method to reduce this risk. Motor-perceptual task combinations typically require a pat...

| Sumario: | Abstract: Various factors, such as fear of falling, postural instability, and altered executive function,
contribute to the high risk of falling in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Dual-task training
is an established method to reduce this risk. Motor-perceptual task combinations
typically require a patient to walk while simultaneously engaging in a perceptual task.
Motor-executive dual-tasking (DT) combines locomotion with executive function tasks.
One augmented reality treadmill training (AR-TT) study revealed promising results of a
perceptual dual-task training with a markedly reduced frequency of falls especially in
patients with PD. We here propose to compare the effects of two types of concurrent
tasks, perceptual and executive, on high-intensity TT). Patients will be trained with TT
alone, in combination with an augmented reality perceptual DT (AR-TT) or with an
executive DT (Random Number Generation; RNG-TT). The results are expected to inform
research on therapeutic strategies for the training of balance in PD. |
