A randomized control trial will be done on elderly individuals in Community Homes of Rawalpindi/Islamabad. Motor-cognitive impairments impact the life of elderly individuals. The purpose of the study is to determine the effects of simultaneous versus sequential motor-cognitive task training on balance, coordination, dual task performance and cognitive functions using the Berg Balance Scale, Mini Mental State Examination, Fall Efficacy Scale and time up and go test, The Simultaneous Motor-cognitive task traning includes activities like walking while counting, balancing on one foot while naming or solving puzzles, and ball toss with recall for forty minutes. The sequential motor-cognitive task training includes standing on one foot, heel-to-toe walk, and leg swings for 20 minutes; and after 20 min rest time followed by memory games and problem-solving tasks for 20 minutes. 12 sessions for 6 weeks will be given.
