Balance as a motor activity requires integrating different sensory information to maintain the center of gravity above the base of support through proper motor strategies in the light of cognitive processing.
In the present study, twenty-nine children with attention deficit- hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were recruited in a random clinical trial design in two intervention and active control groups. The N-Back, Wisconsin Card Sorting, Go/No-Go tasks, and Conners' Teacher and Parent Rating Scales were performed in baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up sessions. The intervention group received balance-based attentive rehabilitation of attention (BARAN), and the active control group received aerobic exercise and running in 12-15 sessions.
BARAN improves working memory (P < .05), cognitive flexibility (P < .01), and inhibitory control (P < .05) and ameliorates ADHD symptoms at home (P < .01) and school (P < .05).
Dual-balance and cognitive tasks improve executive functions and ameliorate symptoms in children with ADHD.
平衡作为一种运动活动，需要整合不同的感官信息，以便根据认知处理，通过适当的运动策略将重心维持在支撑面上方。
在本研究中，采用随机临床试验设计，将29名注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）儿童分为两个干预组和一个积极对照组。在基线、干预后和随访阶段进行N-回溯任务、威斯康星卡片分类任务、Go/No-Go任务以及康纳斯教师和家长评定量表测试。干预组接受基于平衡的注意力康复训练（BARAN），积极对照组在12至15个疗程中进行有氧运动和跑步训练。
BARAN可改善工作记忆（P < .05）、认知灵活性（P < .01）和抑制控制能力（P < .05），并改善在家（P < .01）和在学校（P < .05）的ADHD症状。
双重平衡和认知任务可改善ADHD儿童的执行功能并减轻症状。
