Evaluation of Cognitive and Physical Training on MCI Elders
Sponsor: Taipei Medical University
Summary
This study examines the impact of combining cognitive and physical training, recognizing that daily living often requires individuals to perform multiple tasks simultaneously. The inability to execute such dual movements can hinder daily functioning. The primary goal is to enhance the ability of individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to perform two tasks concurrently, focusing on both cognitive and physical aspects. This research aims to deepen our understanding of how multitasking affects patients' abilities and to develop effective intervention programs.

Interventions
Cognitive training
Cognitive training will follow a group format, with each group consisting of 4-16 participants. Each group will be in a private, independent room for their training sessions and will not interact with participants from other groups. The cognitive training task components will specifically focus on attention, learning and memory, executive function, perceptual-motor skills, and language.
Physical training
Physical training will follow a group format, with each group consisting of 4-16 participants. Each group will be in a private, independent room for their training sessions and will not interact with participants from other groups. The physical training task components will specifically focus on strength, balance, agility, gait, low-volume aerobic, and flexibility.
Combined cognitive and physical training
Combined cognitive and physical training will follow a group format, with each group consisting of 4-16 participants. Each group will be in a private, independent room for their training sessions and will not interact with participants from other groups. The combined cognitive and physical training components will specifically focus on a single cognitive task and simultaneously handle a single physical task.
