Additional Effects of Immersive vr 360 Degree Videos With Aerobic Exercises on Cognitive Functions in Elderly With Mild Cognitive Impairment
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Cognitive Dysfunctions, Cognitive Disorder, Cognitive Decline
In brief
One of the key challenges faced by individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is the decline in cognitive abilities, particularly global cognition, attention, and executive function, which are essential for maintaining independence and performing daily activities. Impaired cognition can significantly reduce quality of life in older adults, leading to difficulties in managing routine tasks, reduced social engagement, and increased dependency on caregivers. Common signs and symptoms include forgetfulness, difficulty concentrating, slower problem-solving, and challenges in planning or organizing daily activities. This study aims to explore and compare the effectiveness of two interventions-immersive Virtual Reality (VR) 360-degree videos combined with aerobic exercises, and aerobic exercises alone-in improving cognitive functions in older adults with MCI. Key outcome measures, including the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Trail Making Test (TMT), will evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions on global cognition, attention, and executive function. We will include older adults aged 60 years and above with MoCA scores between 18-25 (MCI patients), who are able to perform independent ADLs. The participants will be assessed at the start of the intervention through the MoCA scale for MCI screening and baseline TMT testing for inclusion.
