Effects of dual-task training on motor and cognitive function in elderly patients with central nervous system disorders
Central nervous system(CNS)disorders include a wide range of disorders affecting the brain(cerebral hemispheres,mesencephalon,brainstem,and cerebellum)or the spinal cord,which can result in motor,balance,and cognitive impairments.Dual Task Training(DT)usually refers to training that involves the simultaneous performance of two different tasks,which are primary and secondary tasks,and reach a certain level of performance.Previous studies have demonstrated that effective control of body posture and reduction of fall risk can be achieved through DT training.In this study,we will review three aspects of DT training,namely,the extremely construction of DT training,the possible mechanisms of DT training on the rehabilitation of elderly patients with CNS disorders,and the clinical application of DT training in common elderly patients with CNS disorders,providing a theoretical basis for the application of and research on the effects of DT training on motor and cognitive functions in elderly patients with CNS disorders.
