[Purpose] The effect of a dual-task training device, Cognibike, used 3 times a week were investigated. [Participants and Methods] A total of 21 patients (8 males, 13 females, age: 76 ± 10.5) in a convalescent rehabilitation ward were included in the study. In addition to the usual rehabilitation exercises, the patients performed a 15-minute cognitive prevention exercise, 3 times a week for 4 weeks, and gait and cognitive function were assessed before and after the intervention. [Results] As well as an improvement in gait speed, there were improvements in gait speed and the Trail making test during the dual task. [Conclusion] Cognitive prevention exercise with Cognibike may improve physical function as well as dual task performance.
