Effect of Integrated Dual-Task Trunk Stabilization and Balance Training in Sedentary Adult Females
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
Balance and postural control are fundamental components of functional independence and quality of life in adults. Deficits in trunk stability and balance are strongly associated with increased fall risk, impaired mobility, and decreased ability to perform activities of daily living in sedentary individuals and clinical populations. Trunk muscles play a key role in stabilizing the spine and coordinating movement; their activation is essential for maintaining balance during static and dynamic tasks. Evidence suggests that targeted trunk training can significantly improve postural control and functional outcomes.

Interventions
Multi-task training
Participants will be instructed to hold standardized handheld weight (adjusted according to individual tolerance) with both hands at chest level throughout the task to provide an additional upper-body strength component and increase trunk muscle engagement. During training, visual stimuli will be presented on a monitor positioned at eye level at approximately 1.5 m. Four geometric symbols (square, triangle, circle, and star) will be randomly displayed on the screen, each corresponding to a specific trunk movement direction.
Single task
Participants will perform the same balance, strength, and cognitive components separately to eliminate task integration effects.
