Effects of dual task functional power training on falls in the elderly? An 18-month community-based randomised controlled trial

老年人的许多跌倒是因为当失去平衡时，无法产生爆炸性的快速动作来快速迈出步伐，特别是在同时进行其他需要注意的(双重任务)活动时，如边走边说话或通过交通。这项研究将探讨双重任务高速功能训练是否能降低跌倒风险的老年女性在双重任务“现实生活”条件下的跌倒几率，改善步态、平衡和肌肉功能。

Many falls in the elderly result from an inability to produce an explosive and rapid movement to step quickly when balance is lost, particularly when simultaneously performing other attention demanding (dual task) activities such as talking while walking or negotiating traffic. This study will investigate whether dual task high speed functional training can reduce the rate of falls and improve gait, balance and muscle function under dual task 'real-life' conditions in elderly women at increased risk of falling.
