Effects of Cognitive Sensorimotor Training With Whole Body Vibration on Cognition and Balance in Older Adults With Cognitive Impairment
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cognitive Sensorimotor training along with whole body vibration and Cognitive Sensorimotor training for Cognitive Impairment. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Aging is associated with cognitive decline, ranging from normal to mild cognitive impairment or dementia. This leads to physical and cognitive impairment, which are risk factors for loss of autonomy therefore physical and cognitive training are important for cognitively impaired older adults. Cognitive somatosensory exercise (CSE) is a special comprehensive rehabilitation program for retraining sensory-induced motor control, and whole-body vibration (WBV), which enhances neuromuscular function, cognition, and balance. This study aims to investigate the effects of combined cognitive sensory-motor training with whole-body vibration on cognition and balance in older adults with mild to moderate cognitive impairment.

Timeline
Interventions
This group will receive sensorimotor training with cognitive dual-task training in addition to whole body vibration. The participants will perform 36 sessions (3 times per week on alternate days over 12 weeks). The duration of one session for each group will be 60 minutes, The whole-body vibration will be administered using a vibration machine. This includes asking the patient to stand barefoot on the vibrator platform evenly distributing their body weight on both feet with knees bent at 20 degrees as flexing of knees is a common postural adaptation used to minimize transmission of vibration to the head. The patients will receive the whole body vibration at 30Hz consisting of three sessions per week with at least one day between sessions for 12 weeks. The time for each session will be 15 minutes (five bouts of 2 min) . There will be a rest of 1 minute between each bout of vibration therapy.
This group will receive sensorimotor training with cognitive dual task training simultaneously. The participants will perform 36 sessions (3 times per week on alternate days over 12 weeks). The duration of one session for each group will be 60 minutes,
