Along with ageing, the elderly experience various changes in physical, cognitive, emotional, and psychosocial aspects. In addition, the function of the sensory and musculoskeletal systems also decreases. In the musculoskeletal system, physiological changes that occur include decreased muscle strength, flexibility, elasticity, and limitations in joint range of motion.</p>&#13;
<p><bold>AIM. </bold>To determine the difference in effect between Dual-Task (Motor-Cognitive) and Walking Backward on elderly balance.</p>&#13;
<p><bold>MATERIALS AND METHODS. </bold>This research is an experimental study with a quasi-experimental design approach with a pre-and post-test design type, which divides the sample into two groups (two group samples). Group A and group B as treatment or experiment groups in the form of giving Dual-Task (Motor-Cognitive) for group A, for group B by giving Backward Walking. The sample comprise 60 people according to the inclusion criteria. Balance measurements were made using the Time Up Go Test (TUGT).</p>&#13;
<p><bold>RESULTS AND DISCUSSION.</bold> The statistical test results for the paired T-test demonstrate that the test results obtained for the Dual-Task (Motor-Cognitive) treatment group are <italic>p</italic> = 0.00 (&lt; 0.05) and for the Backward Walking group obtained <italic>p </italic>= 0.00 (&lt; 0.05) which means that both treatment groups are significant in improving the balance of the elderly. And the results of the independent <italic>t</italic>-test obtained a value of <italic>p </italic>= 0.048 (&lt; 0.05). It can be interpreted that there is no significant difference in effect between Dual-Task (Motor-Cognitive) and Backward Walking on improving he balance of elderly individuals.</p>&#13;
<p><bold>CONCLUSION. </bold>The findings of this study suggest that the outcomes of the independent sample <italic>t</italic>-test for TUGT demonstrated a value of <italic>p </italic>= 0.048 (<italic>p</italic> &lt; 0.05). So it can be concluded that the two treatment groups have no significant difference in effect between Dual-Task (Motor-Cognitive) and Backward Walking on improving elderly balance.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>ВВЕДЕНИЕ. </bold>Пожилые люди — это люди, находящиеся на заключительном этапе жизни и достигшие возраста 60 лет и более. Со старением у пожилых людей происходят различные изменения в физическом, когнитивном, эмоциональном и психосоциальном аспектах. Кроме того, снижается функция сенсорной и опорно-двигательной систем. В опорно-двигательном аппарате происходят физиологические изменения, включающие снижение мышечной силы, гибкости, эластичности и ограничение амплитуды движений в суставах.</p>&#13;
<p><bold>ЦЕЛЬ. </bold>Определить разницу во влиянии тренировок с двойной задачей (моторно-когнитивной) и ходьбой задом наперед на равновесие у пожилых людей.</p>&#13;
<p><bold>МАТЕРИАЛЫ И МЕТОДЫ. </bold>Данное исследование представляет собой экспериментальное исследование с квазиэкспериментальным дизайном с пред- и пост-тестовым дизайном, в котором выборка делится на две группы (две выборки). Группа A и группа B были лечебными или экспериментальными группами: для группы A предлагалась тренировка с двойной задачей (моторно-когнитивной), для группы B — ходьба задом наперед. Полученная выборка составила 60 человек в соответствии с критериями включения. Измерения баланса проводились с помощью теста Time Up Go (TUGT).</p>&#13;
<p><bold>РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ И ОБСУЖДЕНИЕ. </bold>Результаты статистического тестирования по парному <italic>t</italic>-тесту показывают, что результаты теста, полученные для группы с тренировками с двойной задачей (моторно-когнитивной), составляют <italic>p</italic> = 0,00 (&lt; 0,05), а для группы ходьбы задом наперед — <italic>p</italic> = 0,00 (&lt; 0,05), что означает, что в обеих группах значительно улучшился баланс у пожилых людей. По результатам независимого <italic>t-</italic>теста было получено значение <italic>p</italic> = 0,048 (&lt; 0,05). Это можно интерпретировать как отсутствие значимой разницы между тренировками с двойной задачей (моторно-когнитивной) и ходьбой задом наперед в улучшении равновесия пожилых людей.</p>&#13;
<p><bold>ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ. </bold>Согласно данным исследования независимый выборочный <italic>t</italic>-тест для TUGT показал значение <italic>p</italic> = 0,048 (&lt; 0,05). Таким образом, можно сделать вывод, что в двух группах лечения не наблюдалось существенной разницы в эффективности между тренировками с двойной задачей (моторно-когнитивной) и ходьбой задом наперед для улучшения баланса пожилых людей.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>elderly</kwd><kwd>Dual-Task (Motor-Cognitive)</kwd><kwd>backward walking</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>пожилые люди</kwd><kwd>тренировки с двойной задачей (моторно-когнитивной)</kwd><kwd>ходьба задом наперед</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Yudiansyah Y.
