Effects of cognitive training on freezing of gait and some of its cognitive functions on old parkinson disease patients
Abstract:
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of cognitive training on freezing of gait and related cognitive functions (executive functions and memory quotient) in patients with Parkinson's disease. This study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre- and post-test design and a control group. The participants were a number of 14 Parkinson's disease patients (mean age 60.21±10.92 years) with freezing of gait (2-5 Hohn and Yahr scale) who were selected through convenience sampling and were randomly assigned to experimental (4 males and 3 females) and control (5 males and 2 females) groups. The experimental group received 8 weeks of cognitive training. Freezing of Gait Questionnaire, Tower of London Test, and Wechsler Memory Scale were used to collect data on freezing of gate, executive functions, and memory quotient. A Covariance analysis and Multivariate ANOVA (α = 0.05) were used to analyze the collected data. The results showed that cognitive training had significantly reduced freezing of gate scores and increased executive functions and memory quotient scores for the experimental group compared with the control group. Therefore, it can be concluded that cognitive training can be an appropriate training method to help improve freezing of gait, executive functions, and memory quotient in individuals with freezing of gait.
