Registry summary

This study aims to evaluate the effects of Music-with-Movement Simultaneous Cognitive-Motor Dual-Task Training (MM-SDTT) on cognitive and physical performance in older adults with cognitive frailty coexisting with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and physical frailty.

Research Questions:

  • Will the treatment group show greater improvement in global cognitive functions than the social control group at Week 16?
  • Will the treatment group show greater improvements in both cognitive, physical performance and psychosocial well-being than the social control group at Weeks 16 and 28?

Methodology:

Participants in the Treatment Group:

  • Undergo a 16-week intervention comprising:
  • Once-weekly center-based training supervised by a physical coach
  • Twice-weekly home-based training using provided training videos

Participants in the Social Control Group:

  • Engage in once-weekly social gatherings and receive remedial training after data collection is completed.
