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.
