Tele-Supervised Dual-Task Balance Training in Community-Dwelling Older Adults at Risk of Falls
Sponsor: Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University
Summary
Dual-task training combines movement with cognitive tasks to improve gait, balance, and thinking. This study will compare tele-supervised versus onsite dual-task balance training in older adults at risk of falls. Sixty participants aged 65+ will be randomly assigned to either remote or face-to-face training for 8 weeks. Both groups will follow the same program, delivered via video calls or direct supervision. Outcomes measures will include gait speed, balance, and cognition using the 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and Trail Making Test Part B (TMT-B).

Interventions
Dual-task balance training program, delivered either via real-time video conferencing
The tele-supervised group will perform sessions at home through Zoom Video Communications. Training will follow a fixed-priority strategy. Sessions will last 45 minutes. Each session will include: 5 minutes warm-up, 35 minutes dual-task training, and 5 minutes cool-down.
Face to face intervension
The onsite group received the same dual-task balance training program, delivered face-to-face by a trained therapist at the physical therapy clinic, College of Applied Medical Sciences, Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University, with a frequency and duration matched to the tele-supervised group.
