Abstract

Dual-task diagram focuses on the interaction between cognition and motor control, and has been applied in falls predictor and training in old people. It was found that dual-task diagram is a more sensitive and useful method than gait test to predict the risk of falls in the older people, especially for those with central nervous system disease. The dual-task training can improve the cognitive and physical abilities of the older adults, but it is argued that combined cognitive and physical exercise is more beneficial than either one individually.

Key words： cognitive and postural control dual-task; old; fall; cognition; gait; balance; review
