Dual-Task Training Exercise to Reduce Falls in Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment

Investigators are evaluating an evidence-based intervention,Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance, to determine how much it helps prevent falls in older adults with mild cognitive impairment.

Details

The evidence that physical exercise reduces falls in older adults with cognitive impairment is currently both limited and inconclusive, making it difficult for recommending best practices. Investigators are determining the efficacy of a Dual-Tai Ji Quan exercise intervention (Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance) in reducing the incidence of falls among older adults with mild cognitive impairment.
