                | Objective:To compare the differences among single task,music dual task and mental arithmetic dual task on body balance.Methods: The balance function (standing on one leg in eyes-open and eyes-closed situations) of 25 normal university students was recorded.Subjects were tested in three different conditions:single task,dual task 1 (music group) and dual task 2 (mental arithmetic group).The maximum and average deviation of center of pressure in both frontal and vertical plane and peripheral area of center of pressure were collected.Results:There was no significant difference in the three tasks tested between the left and right leg conditions.The data of maximum deviation of center of pressure in eyes-open situations were all less than in eyes-close situations in single task test,dual task 1 and dual task 2 (P<0.05).No significant difference was found between single task and dual task 1,but maximum deviation of center of pressure in dual task 2 was increased significantly,and that in the anteroposterior axis,coronal axis and the peripheral area in the dual task 1 in eyes-open situation as compared with single task (P<0.05).No increase was observed in eyes-closed situation.Conclusion:Visual system may play an important role in keeping balance of human bodies,but it is disturbed by cognitive load and distribution. |
