Study summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the balance and dual-task activities of Kinetic Brain Exercises in healthy elderly individuals living in nursing homes.

Read the detailed description

A total of 33 people, 4 women and 29 men between the ages of 65-80 (73.88±3.69 years) completed in the research. Demographic and clinic information of the individuals were recorded and Dual Task Performance Tests for dual task activities, Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT) , Functional Reach Test for balance, 10 Meter Walk Test for walking speed, Fall Efficacy Scale (FES) for the fear of falling, Dual Task Questionnaire for to determine individuals difficulties during dual tasks and World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument- Older Adults Module (WHOQOL-OLD) was used for quality of life. Individuals were applied an exercise program of 40 minutes, 2 days a week for 8 weeks. Individuals were divided into 2 groups. Kinetic Brain Exercises and Core Stabilization Exercises were applied to Group 1 (n=17), and only Core Stabilization Exercises were applied to Group 2 (n=16).

Interventions

  • OtherKinetic Brain Exercises and Core Stabilization Exercises

    Kinetic Brain Exercise Program Kinetic brain exercises were applied to Group 1 in groups of 8-10 people, 2 days a week for 40 minutes for 8 weeks.These exercises include warm-up, main and cool-down phases. Warm-up; These are coordination-oriented movements that include 'brain buttons', 'cross crawl' and 'the thinking cap' exercises. Main phase; These are exercises that include coordination, selective attention, audio-visual focus and balance, consisting of perceptual, independent and dependent movements. Cooling phase; It aims to ensure hand-eye coordination by consisting of double doodle, throwing balls to each other and lazy 8s exercises.Exercises were selected from the kinetic brain exercise pool, modified and applied for 2-8 weeks.The exercises were done while sitting and standing, with increasing difficulty levels. The factor that made the levels difficult was the time and complexity of the incoming command. A game ball with a diameter of 7 cm was used for the exercises.

  • OtherCore Stabilization Exercises

    Core Stabilization Exercise Program in groups of 8-10 people, for 40 minutes, 2 days a week, for 8 weeks.These exercises included a 5-minute active warm-up, a 30-minute Core Stabilization exercise that included upper and lower extremity movements, and immediately followed by a 5-minute cool-down exercise.The exercises are pilates-based and in the first stage of the program. Movements were performed in standing and sitting positions.Movements were started with 6-8 repetitions, increased by 1-2 repetitions each week, and in the last week, 12-15 repetitions were performed, with contraction times increasing from 5 seconds to 10 seconds. As the exercises progressed from easy to difficult, from simple movements to complex movements, the movements were continued by adding an elastic band and 0.5 kg weight.While advancing the exercise program, the exercises were personalized by taking into account the individual's strain levels.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Demographic and Clinical Evaluation Form

    Name-surname, age, telephone number, gender, education level, height, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), presence of chronic disease, regular medication use, whether or not they have a hobby, duration of stay in the nursing home, reason for staying in the nursing home and use of assistive walking devices were questioned.

    Time frame: At baseline and after 8 weeks

  2. Mini Mental State Test

    Cognitive status was evaluated.

    Time frame: At baseline and after 8 weeks

  3. Dual Task Performance Tests

    To evaluate dual-task activities, Timed Up and Go Test, 30-Second Sit-and-Go Test, Tandem Stance Test, 360° Rotation Test and One-Leg Stand Test were applied to individuals in three different ways: single task, cognitive task and motor task, and performance times were measured.

    Time frame: At baseline and after 8 weeks

  4. 10 Meter Walking Test

    It was used to evaluate individuals' walking speed.

    Time frame: At baseline and after 8 weeks

  5. Functional Reaching Test

    It was used to evaluate the balance performance of individuals.

    Time frame: At baseline and after 8 weeks

  6. Dual Task Survey

    It was used to obtain information about the difficulties individuals experience in daily life situations that require dual tasks.

    Time frame: At baseline and after 8 weeks

  7. Tinetti Fall Activity Scale

    It was used to assess individuals' fear of falling.Minimum score is 0 and maximum score is 28.

    Time frame: At baseline and after 8 weeks

  8. World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale Elderly Module

    It was used to evaluate the quality of life of the elderly. Minimum score is 0 and maximum score is 135.

    Time frame: At baseline and after 8 weeks

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Dec 2023 to primary completion in Feb 2024, 2 months.

Of 5,147 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Motor Activity, half reached primary completion within 17 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 36. This study's 2 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 5,207 studies reached it within 17 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 36.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 6, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
