Abstract
. The purpose of this study was to examine whether a cognitive training intervention leads to significant improvements on measures of balance and gait in schizophrenia inpatient with depression disorder. This non-randomized clinical trial with a control group examined the effect of cognitive training over 12 weeks on balance and gait in 20 man schizophrenia inpatients with depression disorder. Patients were homogeneously(based on age, score of MMSE, scor of depression) assigned to groups of intervention and control . Participations enrolled in intervention group attended in cognitive rehabilitation of memory and attention(ARAM( sessions for 45–60 minutes three times weekly for 12 weeks (36 total sessions). Data of Pre-test and post-test resulting from the test of standing on dominant leg with opened and closed eyes ,10-meter gait speed, 10-meter gait speed under gait-visuospatial dual-task condition and 10-meter gait speed under gait-motor dual-task condition were analyzed by using pair- samples t- test and comparing the post-test of the two groups analyzed by using independent t-test. Results showed the cognitive training intervention group had significant increase in static balance with opened and closed eyes and gait speed under single and dual-task condition from pre-test to post-test (p≤0.05). the cognitive training intervention group had significant improve in static balance with opened and closed eyes, gait speed under single and dual-task condition rather than the control group.
