Study Summary
Brief Summary: Cognition and balance are known to decline during the aging process. Cognitive performance is essential for functional independence and determines whether an individual can perform instrumental daily living activities (e.g., finances, driving, independent living). Balance is critical for participation in everyday life activities. Impaired balance increases fall risk, and subsequent injury increased caregiver dependency and decreased independence. The purpose of this study is to investigate the outcomes of 24 sessions of online mobility and cognitive training (35 minutes/session, 3x/week, 8-12 weeks) for community-based older adults. The exercise program is progressively challenging and emphasizes balance, cardiovascular conditioning, attention, and working memory. The primary outcomes of interest are cognitive performance and balance changes, with secondary outcomes relating to self-efficacy, resilience, and physical activity.
Primary Outcome
(A) as measured by the Digit Span subset of Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale- 4th Edition (WAIS-IV); Each correct response is worth 1 point, with a maximum of 14 for each sub-score and for a total score of 24. Higher scores are indicative of better outcome. (B) as measured by Letter-Number Sequencing, each correct response is worth 1 point, with a maximum total score of 21. Higher scores are indicative of better outcome.
