Description

Using a visual prompt, we trained a cerebrovascular dementia patient to walk with a T-cane and studied the effectiveness of the method. The research was conducted based on a single case design. First, just before and during the training, the patient was instructed in T-cane gait procedure orally and by gesture. Then, he was trained with a visual prompt, showing the T-cane gait procedure written on a large paper sheet. Finally, he was asked to do T-cane gait without any instructions. With the oral and gesture instructions, the patient made a mistake in almost every phase of the gait cycle. However no mistake was made with the visual prompt method and in the final stage of no instructions. It was concluded that the visual prompt method was quite effective for T-cane gait training of the cerebrovascular dementia patient.<br>
