Effects of Shuttle Balance Training on Balance , Gait and Postural Control in Children With Mild Cognitive Impairment

Plain-language summary

This study aims to investigate the impact of Shuttle Balance Training (SBT) on balance, gait, and postural control among children diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Mild cognitive impairment in children often manifests as challenges in cognitive processing, motor coordination, and daily activities that involve balance and movement. The research will employ a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design, involving children aged 6-12 years diagnosed with MCI. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving Shuttle Balance Training or a control group receiving standard care or placebo interventions. The Shuttle Balance Training protocol consists of structured sessions focusing on dynamic balance exercises, coordination drills, and proprioceptive challenges using shuttle devices. Training sessions will be conducted thrice weekly over a period of 12 weeks, with each session lasting approximately 45 minutes. The study will be randomized controlled trial. Total \_\_ subjects will be assigned by non probability convenient sampling technique. They were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The Berg balance scale, limits of stability test, GOAL test, Timed up and go tools will be used. Tests will be used as outcome measure tools for balance, walk, coordination and Physical activity. All measures will be taken at baseline and at the end of treatment session. The collected data will be analyzed in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 25.0 version. If data will be normally distributed then parametric if not normally distributed than non-parametric test will be apply.
