| Abstract | Few studies have reported the effect of exercise intervention for improving postural control deficit in older adults at high risk of falling. We have developed a 'Dual-task Switch Exercise (DSE)' program that focuses on gait initiation performance under the dual-task condition. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether gait initiation performance could be improved by a specific exercise intervention. Eighteen participants were randomly assigned to either DSE or control groups. The DSE group received focused training to improve the ability to initiate movements quickly under the dual-task condition. The control group received steady-state walking training. After 30-min of seated training sessions, participants received 5-min individualized training sessions once a week for 24 weeks. In the pre- and post-training period, performance of the steady-state gait (10-m walking time) and gait initiation (reaction time, backward center of pressure (COP) displacement) were measured under the single- and dual-task conditions. The results of a randomized clinical trial showed that both groups showed improvement of steady-state walking time under the dual-task condition (main effect of time; p=0.018). However, DSE was more effective in improving both the reaction time and backward COP displacement during gait initiation under the dual-task condition than control (interaction effect of time×group; reaction time, p=0.015; COP displacement, p=0.011). There were no significant differences in steady-state gait and gait initiation performance under the single-task condition between pre- and post-training in both groups. Only the specific exercise intervention improved gait initiation performance under the dual-task condition. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
