About this study

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of a dual task protocol on cognitive domains and functional capacity in non-sedentary older adults.

The hypothesis of the present study is that older people undergoing to a dual task exercise protocol have greater benefits on cognition and functional performance, compared to a standard exercise protocol.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Changes on cognition after 3 months of training

    Cognition was assessed by Montreal Cognitive Assessment and Mini-Mental State Examination

    Measured: Assessed at baseline and after 3 months of training

  2. Changes on functional capacity after 3 months of training

    Functional capacity was assessed by Timed up and go test, Timed up and go test associated to a cognitive task and sit to stand test.

    Measured: Assessed at baseline and after 3 months of training

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes on cognition after 3 months of training (time frame: Assessed at baseline and after 3 months of training). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
