Abstract
Dual task in daily life decrease the postural control and cognitive performance. Many studies showed improvement in postural control under dual task condition after training but no studies investigated the cognitive performance after training. Wearing high-heeled shoes to work which was used cognitive task while working lead to a decreased postural stability and/or cognitive performance. This is especially true for the non-regular high-heeled shoes wearers who could experience more effects on balance control at their beginning stage of wearing the shoes. The objectives of this study were 1) to examine the immediate effect of balance training with high-heeled shoes on cognitive processing speed of the non-regular high-heeled shoes wearers and 2) to compare the cognitive processing speed when balance training on high-heeled shoes between standing and sitting position. Ten healthy young women participated in this randomized crossover design study. The study consisted of 2 interventions which included balance training with high-heeled shoes in standing and balance training with high-heeled shoes in sitting. Each intervention consisted of 45-minute period of training with a 7-days washout period. The cognitive processing speed and sway path were tested before and immediately after the training. The results showed that after training, there was improvement in cognitive processing speed both interventions. However, there was no statistical significant different in cognitive processing speed and sway path between the two interventions. Further study with larger sample size is needed.
