“…Some interventions for aging adults include bimanual coordination tasks such as multisensory exercise programs (Moreira et al, 2018); and juggling interventions (Draganski et al, 2004; Scholz et al, 2009). Results of a randomized controlled trial showed benefits from multisensory exercise training with bimanual hand movements to cognition and motor outcomes in institutionalized older adults (Moreira et al, 2018). In addition, neuroimaging data in adults who participated in a 90-day juggling intervention showed increased gray matter volume in the mid-temporal area bilaterally and in the left posterior intraparietal sulcus (Draganski et al, 2004).…”

Music training programs have been shown to enhance executive functions in aging adults; however, little is known regarding the extent to which different types of bimanual coordination (i.e., fine and gross motor) in music instruction contribute to these outcomes. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of bimanual coordination in music interventions on cognitive performance in healthy older adults (60–80 years). Participants (N = 135) completed motor measures and battery of standardized cognitive measures, before and after a 16-week music training program with a 3 h practice requirement. All participants were matched by age, education, and estimate of intelligence to one of three training programs: piano training (fine motor); percussion instruction (gross motor), and music listening instruction (MLI) (no motor control condition). Results of a Repeated Measures ANOVA revealed significant enhancements in bimanual synchronization and visual scanning/working memory abilities for fine and gross motor training groups as compared to MLI. Pairwise comparisons revealed that piano training significantly improved motor synchronization skills as compared to percussion instruction or music listening. Results suggest that active music performance may benefit working memory, the extent of these benefits may depend upon coordination demands.

“…Research with older individuals, which has applied exercise for motor fitness and has resulted beneficial for mobility, has included both static or dynamic types of coordination and motor learning exercise, such as the adaptation of Tai-chi for frail individuals, mainly performed sitting and aiming at hand-eye-coordination [29,30,37,51], or more dynamically with mobility exercises with music [35,34,44]. A further approach applies the motor learning model which aims to stimulate the brain to learn the timing and sequence of movements through the repetition of a single movement until is automated [6].…”

Purpose Neuromotor exercise, which stimulates motor fitness components (balance, agility, coordination), has been less investigated than other forms of exercise such as resistance or aerobic training to counteract the age-related impairment in mobility. The aim of the study was to verify whether neuromotor exercise was as effective as resistance training in improving mobility and related fitness components in healthy older women. Methods Thirty-five women (mean age 69.6 ± 3.2 years) were assigned to a neuromotor (NMT) or a progressive resistance training (PRT) group, both exercising 1 h, twice weekly for 12 weeks. The NMT group exercised static and dynamic balance, agility, speed, reaction time and coordination, while the PRT performed prevalently machine based, strengthening exercises. All participants were tested before and after the intervention for walking speed under different conditions, chair rise time, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength and power. A 2 × 2 MANOVA and subsequent ANOVAs were performed to ascertain the effects of the two trainings. Results Similar improvements were observed for mobility (P = 0.000, 2 p = 0.73 ) and for fitness (P = 0.000, 2 p = 0.96 ) in both groups. Conclusions The present results suggest that in healthy older women improvements in mobility may be obtained through both strength and neuromotor exercise. The present results contribute to further our knowledge on the effects of neuromotor exercise for older people and add relevant information on exercise interventions targeting mobility in the elderly.

“…Table 2 presents the characteristics of the exercise training interventions. The total time spent in exercising during the multisensory exercise interventions varied from 0.5 [30,40] to 180 h [33] , while the intervention duration ranged from 2 [41] to 16 weeks [31] . Studies of intervention time showed that multisensory exercises worked within 6 weeks [34,38,42] , 8 weeks [20,39,43] , 12 weeks [36,37,44] ) respectively.…”

Objective To examine the effect of multisensory exercise on balance disorders. Methods PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science were searched to identify eligible studies published before January 1, 2020. Eligible studies included randomized control trials (RCTs), non-randomized studies, case-control studies, and cohort studies. The methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated using JBI Critical Appraisal Checklists for RCTs and for Quasi-Experimental Studies by two researchers independently. A narrative synthesis of intervention characteristics and health-related outcomes was performed. Results A total of 11 non-randomized studies and 9 RCTs were eligible, including 667 participants. The results supported our assumption that multisensory exercise improved balance in people with balance disorders. All of the 20 studies were believed to be of high or moderate quality. Conclusion Our study confirmed that multisensory exercise was effective in improving balance in people with balance disorders. Multisensory exercises could lower the risk of fall and enhance confidence level to improve the quality of life. Further research is needed to investigate the optimal strategy of multisensory exercises and explore the underlying neural and molecular mechanisms of balance improvement brought by multisensory exercises.
