Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Amplitude of Center of Pressure under simple conditions
Assessment of amplitude of Center of Pressure (in mm) during balance testing using OPAL Sensors (APDM, Oregon, USA).
Time frame
Assessed before starting the intervention (T0) and 6 weeks later (T0 + 6 weeks).2
Amplitude of Center of Pressure under Dual Task conditions (Motor)
Assessment of amplitude of Center of Pressure (in mm) during balance testing under concurrent cognitive tasks (Motor, by holding a glass of water on a tray) using OPAL Sensors (APDM, Oregon, USA).
Time frame
Assessed before starting the intervention (T0) and 6 weeks later (T0 + 6 weeks).3
Amplitude of Center of Pressure under Dual Task conditions (Arithmetic)
Assessment of amplitude of Center of Pressure (in mm) during balance testing under concurrent cognitive tasks (Arithmetic, by concurrently substracting 7 from a random number) using OPAL Sensors (APDM, Oregon, USA).
Time frame
Assessed before starting the intervention (T0) and 6 weeks later (T0 + 6 weeks).4
Amplitude of Center of Pressure under Dual Task conditions (Verbal)
Assessment of amplitude of Center of Pressure (in mm) during balance testing under concurrent cognitive tasks (Verbal, by naming words starting by a random letter) using OPAL Sensors (APDM, Oregon, USA).
Time frame
Assessed before starting the intervention (T0) and 6 weeks later (T0 + 6 weeks).Secondary outcomes
