About this trial
This study will investigate the effects of dual-task-based high-amplitude functional exercises on balance and functional mobility in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. A total of 36 participants aged 65 years and older will be randomly assigned to either a high-amplitude functional exercise group or a traditional balance and mobility exercise group. Both groups will participate in exercise sessions four times per week for four weeks, with each session lasting 60 minutes. The effects of the exercise programs will be evaluated by assessing balance, functional mobility, dual-task performance, walking performance, fear of falling, and independence in daily activities before and after the intervention.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Living independently/actively in a nursing home.
Diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) based on a standardized screening test, with a Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score of 18-25.
Ability to walk independently for at least 10 meters without an assistive device or with only a cane/single-point support.
Sufficient vision and hearing capacity to follow dual-task instructions and exercise directions, which may be corrected with glasses or hearing aids.
Disqualifiers
Diagnosis of dementia or severe cognitive impairment based on cognitive screening (MoCA <17).
Neurological conditions that primarily affect balance, such as Parkinson's disease, residual effects of stroke, multiple sclerosis, or cerebellar ataxia.
Severe osteoarthritis, active inflammatory joint disease, or a history of major orthopedic surgery within the previous 6 months that could limit exercise performance.
Uncontrolled hypertension, heart failure (NYHA Class III-IV), or cardiopulmonary instability causing symptoms during exercise.
