AB  - BACKGROUND/AIMS: Dual-task training may improve dual-task gait performance, 
      balance, and cognition in older adults with and without cognitive impairment. 
      Although music has been widely utilized in dementia management, there are no 
      existing protocols for music-based dual-task training. This randomized controlled 
      study developed a Musical Dual-Task Training (MDTT) protocol that patients with 
      dementia can use to practice walking and making music simultaneously, to enhance 
      attention control in patients during dual-tasking. METHODS: Twenty-eight adults 
      diagnosed with mild-to-moderate dementia were assigned to the MDTT (n=15) or 
      control groups (n=13). The MDTT group received MDTT, while the control group 
      participated in non-musical cognitive and walking activities. The effects of MDTT 
      were evaluated through the primary outcome of attention control, and secondary 
      outcomes of dual-task performance, balance, falls efficacy, and agitation. 
      RESULTS: The MDTT group showed a significant improvement in attention control, 
      while the control group did not (P<0.001). A significant effect favored MDTT over 
      control treatment for the secondary outcome of falls efficacy (P=0.02) and 
      agitation (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: MDTT, a music therapy intervention that demands a 
      high level of cognitive processing, enhances attention control, falls efficacy, 
      and helps alleviate agitation in patients with mild-to-moderate dementia.
