Pretest and post test values of MoCA in Group A and B

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and impaired insulin secretion. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is not only a metabolic disorder but is also associated with an increased risk of cognitive dysfunction, affecting memory, attention, and executive functions. Cognitive Motor Dual Task Training (CMDTT) is designed to engage multiple procedural memory centers in the brain, including the basal ganglia, cerebellum, supplementary motor area, and premotor cortex, thereby enhancing both cognition and motor function.This randomized controlled study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of CMDTT in improving cognitive function among individuals with T2DM. A total of 62 participants with T2DM were assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale before and after the intervention. The experimental group (n=31) performed CMDTT along with aerobic training, while the control group (n=31) underwent conventional therapy comprising aerobic and resisted exercises. The findings demonstrated a significant improvement in cognitive function in the experimental group, with a statistically significant difference compared to the control group (p=0.0001). The study concludes that CMDTT is a more effective approach in enhancing cognitive function in individuals with T2DM.
