Table 4. Baseline (week 1) and post-intervention (week 8) scores for TUG single and dual-task tests before and after training for inspiratory muscle trading (IMT, n = 11) and Otago exercise program (OEP, n = 14) groups.

IMT OEP P-values
Outcomes Baseline Post-intervention % change Baseline Post-intervention % change Between groups change
TUG (s) A 8.9 ± 1.1 7.9 ± 1.4 * -11 ± 27 16.8 ± 13.7 14.1 ± 11.0 -16 ± 20 NS
TUGC (s) A 14.6 ± 7.2 10.3 ± 3.2 -29 ± 55 23.4 ± 13.9 19.9 ± 10.0 -15 ± 28 NS
TUGM (s) A 10.8 ± 1.6 8.9 ± 1.5 ** -18 ± 6 20.0 ± 17.1 17.8 ± 14.2 -11 ± 17 NS
TUG vs TUGC (Δ s) 5.7 ± 7.7 2.4 ± 2.5 6.6 ± 6.7 5.8 ± 3.3 NS
TUG vs TUGM (Δ s) 2.0 ± 1.2 1.0 ± 0.9 3.2 ± 4.5 3.7 ± 3.7 NS

Data are mean ± standard deviation TUG = timed up and go, TUGC = cognitive TUG, TUGM = motor TUG, TUG vs TUGC value (Δs) represent the differences between TUG and TUGC before and after intervention expressed in seconds, TUG vs TUGM value (Δ s) represent the differences between TUG and TUGM before and after intervention expressed in seconds.

* Significantly different from baseline (P ≤ 0.05)

** Significantly different from baseline (P ≤ 0.01)

† Significantly different from TUG (P ≤ 0.05). NS = not significant. N/A = not applicable.

A = group were significantly different at baseline (P ≤ 0.01).
