Attention, memory and visual motor skills gets
affected in covid 19 patients. Brain gym exercise and dual task training
improving visual motor skills while Brain gym exercises and dual task training
both are equally effective in improving attention and memory in covid19
patients.
Objectives: To study the effectiveness of the brain gym
exercise verses dual task training on cognitive functions – Attention, Memory
and Visual motor skills in post COVID19 patients.
Methodology: In this study total 64 subjects, both male
and female with mean age of 36.61 Group A and 37.37 Group B were selected using
random sampling method and were allocated into two groups using odd and even
method. In group A subjects received treatment according to brain gym exercise
protocol along with conventional exercises and in Group B subjects received
treatment according to dual task training protocol along with conventional
exercises. Pre and post treatment attention, memory and visual motor skills was
assessed using Mini‐Mental State Examination MMSE, mini cog test and TMT
respectively.
Results: The comparison of pre and post MMSE, mini
cog scale, and trail making test scores between group A and group B showed
varying results. While there was no significant difference in attention
improvement between the two groups, both treatments were effective in improving
attention in COVID-19 patients. Memory improvement also showed no significant
difference, indicating that both treatments were equally effective in enhancing
memory. However, a significant difference was observed in visual motor skills
improvement, with group A showing better results compared to group B. Overall,
both brain gym exercise and dual task training were found to be beneficial in enhancing
cognitive function in COVID-19 patients.
