|---|---|
| The Japanese version of the ADAS-Cog subtest (hereafter referred to as ADAS-Jcog) will be used to capture the chronological changes in cognitive function brought about by the effects of intervention. The frequency of test administration is once a week. The study adopts an A-B-A-B design, and because of the short hospitalization period in the acute care ward, A (nonintervention; no Unirobot) and B (intervention with Unirobot) will be evaluated every two weeks. The scores between A and B will then be reviewed by statistical analysis. | — |
