IMPACT OF BRAIN EXERCISE AND WALKING AMONG TYPE II DIABETES PATIENT WITH IMPAIRED COGNITION OF TAMIL NADU- A RANDOMIZED CONTROL STUDY Authors: Dhanushya RD And M Ashok Kumar
ABSTRACT
Aim: To Monitor the Impact of Brain Exercise and Walking Among Type II Diabetes
Mellitus (TIIDM) Patient with Impaired Cognition.
Method: In this proposed Randomized control study, 135 TIIDM patients were enrolled
using subjective Sampling with an age group of above 30 years of either genders. TIIDM
with impaired cognition patient were assessed using the Montreal cognitive assessment
(MoCA) scoring and further grouped into control arm (N=68) who follows usual care and
Intervention arm (N=67) who follows usual care along with brain exercise and walking.
Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS Version 21.
Result: MoCA score perceived at the time of baseline measurement were found to be
17.74+_ 4.99 in control arm and 17.44+_5.47 in intervention arm. In the 4th week, the
development was observed in intervention group and at 8th week the MoCA score between
control and intervention group showed high significant P-valve was perceived (P=0.001).
Conclusion: Walking and brain exercise help to prevent further decline in cognitive function
as well as plays a major role in the prevention and control of insulin resistance and diabeticrelated
health complication.
