Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Community-Dwelling Older Adults, Aging, Cognitive Decline, Hand Dexterity, Muscle Strength

In brief

Block-building activities represent a promising tool for enhancing cognitive and hand function in older adults. When integrated with technological support, they offer personalized training advantages; however, their comprehensive effectiveness requires empirical validation. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a "Technology-Assisted Block Training Program" to explore its effects on cognitive function, hand grip strength, dexterity, and quality of life among community-dwelling older adults, while examining participants' subjective experiences.
