Effectiveness ofa cognitive intervention program in patients with cognitive impairment secondary to acquired brain damage and neurodegenerative disease

standing time and maximal walking speed. Results: The improvement effects on dual-task performances with both balance and cognitive demands were not statistically significant: reaction time with balance demand [F (1,45) 1⁄4 3.3, p 1⁄4 0.07] and cognitive demand [F (1,45) 1⁄4 2.6, p 1⁄4 0.12]. However, there was a significant group-by-time interaction on maximal walking speed, which decreased significantly in the CG [F (1,45)1⁄4 5.9, p 1⁄4 0.02]. Conclusions: This six-month multicomponent exercise program improved maximal walking speed in older adults with aMCI; however, it did not improve dual-task performances assessed by reaction times.
