About this study

With this study, it will be tried to determine whether the addition of physiotherapy program to the education of mentally disabled individuals is effective and necessary in terms of mental performance.

Read the detailed description

Mental disability levels IQ = 50-79 individuals with mild / border mental disabilities will be included in the study. The disability status of the individuals will be determined by the health report, and the cognitive status of the individuals will be determined by the report given as a result of the evaluation made by the Guidance Research Centers of the National Education Directorates. The 45-person study group will be randomized to 3 groups of 15 persons each. The first group will not be subjected to any application except education. The second group will be the control group and will be taken to the balance training in addition to normal education. In the third group, dual task balance training will be applied within the scope of cognitive rehabilitation

  • dual task balance trainingOther

    Also called classic balance training

    The studies were planned to be 2 times a week for 12 weeks. The 20-minute Dual Task balance training program is planned to be composed of two sections of 10 minutes. In the first 10 min section, the individual will exercise with the multi-task mode of CogniBoard on the balance ball. . Stroop study will be performed on the balance ball in the second 10 minutes of the exercise.

What is being measured

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

  1. cognitive functions

    short-term memory(visual memory test, memorize the squares,number of correct choices), İnformation processing speed (space bar presses in response to non-target stimulus to be impulsive behavior. number of errors), Focusing and Perception (space bar presses in response to a target stimulus.The difference between the number of target stimuli that appeared in the test and the number of correct responses gives the number of omission errors. )

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. motor functions

    balance (walking forward a line, number of steps), coordination(jumping in place-same sides synchronized-number of correct form) , manual dexterity(transferring pennies-number of 15 sec.), gross motor skills and upper-limb coordination (dribling a ball-alternating hands-number of dribbles)

    Measured: 3 months
