Cognitive training has been proposed as an intervention to address motor impairments in Parkinson's disease, especially freezing of gait episodes and functional mobility challenges. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of cognitive training on these parameters using pre- and post-intervention data from individuals with Parkinson's disease. Analysis using within-group comparisons was meant to assess the effectiveness of the intervention, while between-group comparisons were aimed at detecting differences in the magnitude of improvements. The statistical analysis provided significant improvements in FOG episodes and functional mobility as quantified by standard tests following intervention. However, no statistically significant differences were found in the extent of improvements among groups. These findings show that cognitive training may be an important tool to reduce motor impairments in Parkinson's disease, since it can be an efficient and accessible therapeutic approach. Further research is necessary to look into its long-term benefits and optimize training strategies.
