Cognitive Training and Dual-task Ability

Balance rehabilitation will involve a structured framework of balance activities that require increasing levels of complexity and multimodal stimuli and response demands with the addition of cognitive tasks, (e.g., counting backwards or reciting lists) to be added when the participant

Standard balance rehabilitation will involve a structured framework of balance activities that require increasing levels of complexity and multimodal stimuli and response demands.

Speed of processing cognitive training involves systematically increasing the complexity of visual tasks. Task demands are increased by reducing stimulus duration, adding visual or auditory distractors, increasing number of concurrent tasks or increasing the visual field.

General cognitive training involves systematic training of 14 key cognitive abilities, including visual scanning, response time, eye-hand coordination, spatial perception, and working memory. Initial starting point is determined by the software using baseline evaluation.
