Summary

To find out the comparative effects of motor and cognitive dual gait training on improving the balance control and mobility skills among intellectual disable patients.

Detailed description

Previous studies had done a lot of work in improving balance and mobility skills by combining both motor and cognitive dual gait training (CDT and MDT) techniques among Down syndrome, Parkinsonism and so on but not a single study was conducted in order to determine the comparative effects of CDT and MDT especially in intellectual disability individuals to improve balance so the study was conducted in order to find the comparative effect for the better understanding of the treatment effects.
