To evaluate the effect of a 24-week dual-task training with progression from variable to fixed priority on the concern about falling, confidence in balance, quality of life, and depression symptoms in community-dwelling older adults.
A total of 60 participants (60-80 y.o.) were randomly allocated into a dual-task training group with progression from variable to fixed priority (experimental group) or into a dual-task training group with variable priority (control group).
No between-group difference was observed after the intervention. A significant time effect showed a reduction in concern about falling [mean difference (MD) = -2.91)] and depression symptoms (MD = -1.66), an increase in the physical function (MD = 7.86), overall mental health (MD = 5.82), perception of vitality, energy, and less fatigue (MD = 10.45), general perception of overall health (MD = 6.81), and their health compared to the last year (MD = 11.89).
The experimental protocol was not superior to the control one. However, both protocols improved these outcomes.
评估 24 周的双重任务训练，从可变优先级进展到固定优先级，对社区居住的老年人的跌倒担忧、平衡信心、生活质量和抑郁症状的影响。
共 60 名参与者（60-80 岁）被随机分配到从可变优先级进展到固定优先级的双重任务训练组（实验组）或可变优先级的双重任务训练组（对照组）。
干预后两组之间没有差异。时间效应显著，跌倒担忧减少[平均差异（MD）=-2.91]和抑郁症状（MD=-1.66），身体功能（MD=7.86）、整体心理健康（MD=5.82）、活力、能量和疲劳感的感知（MD=10.45）、整体健康状况的总体感知（MD=6.81）以及与去年相比的健康状况（MD=11.89）都有所增加。
实验组方案并不优于对照组。然而，两种方案都改善了这些结果。
