Comparison of the Effects of Bimanual, Finger and VR Exercises in PwMCI
Sponsor: Eastern Mediterranean University
Summary
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is defined as an impairment in a single cognitive function, usually memory, other than normal cognitive decline with age, that does not fulfil dementia criteria. Finger movements have been shown to stimulate the sensory-motor and cognitive parts of the cerebral cortex, as well as the supplementary motor area, Broca's area, premotor cortex, and prefrontal cortex, all of which contribute to movement skills. Asymmetrical hand and finger movements done concurrently were proven to improve cognitive processes and cerebral blood flow more than movements performed with one hand.

Interventions
Bimanual Exercise
The bimanual exercise group consists of exercises that involve movements in which both hands are used simultaneously. The bimanual exercise group will have 40 minutes of training for 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks.
Finger Exercise
The finger exercise group consists of exercises that involve finger movements. The bimanual exercise group will have 40 minutes of training for 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks.
Virtual Reality
The virtual reality exercise group consists of hand-tracking game exercises that involve finger movements. The bimanual exercise group will have 40 minutes of training for 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks.
