Cognitive Impairment, Mild Cognitive Impairment
Conditions
Brief summary
In this study, a more specific and systematic Home-Based Cognitive Rehabilitation Program Driven by a Tablet Application is developed and the purpose of the program is to check whether cognitive function is improved when the program is applied to patients with MCI.
Detailed description
The subjects of recruitment were the elderly with mild cognitive impairment living in the local community. Assessments were conducted 7 days before and after the intervention. Subjects received Korean-Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA), semantic verbal emory test (SVLT), number memorization test; Digit Span Test (DST), category word fluency test (CWFT), phonemic word fluency test (PWFT), Korean-mini mental state test (K-MMSE), and geriatric depression scale (GDS) before and 8 weeks after the intervention.
Interventions
OTHERHome based cognitive rehabilitation program
The home based cognitive rehabilitation program intervention was conducted for 30 minutes each time, 3 times a week for 8 weeks, a total of 24 times.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change of the Korean-Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA) score | Baseline and Week 8 | It is a tool to evaluate overall cognitive function. Possible scores range from 0(lowest cognitive function) to 30 (highest cognitive function). Change = Paired t-test with baseline score and week 8 score. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change of the semantic verbal emory test (SVLT) score | Baseline and Week 8 | It is a tool to evaluate language memory function. Possible scores range from 0(lowest) to 36 (highest). Change = Paired t-test with baseline score and week 8 score. |
| Change of the Digit Span Test (DST) score | Baseline and Week 8 | It is a tool to evaluate number memorization and attention. Possible scores range from 0(lowest) to 9 (highest). Change = Paired t-test with baseline score and week 8 score. |
| Change of the category word fluency test (CWFT) score | Baseline and Week 8 | It is a tool to evaluate executive function. In one minute, the speak words of the given category is performed, and the number of words spoken within the time is evaluated as a score. Change = Paired t-test with baseline score and week 8 score. |
| Change of the phonemic word fluency test (PWFT) score | Baseline and Week 8 | It is a tool to evaluate executive function. In one minute, the speak words that start with a given phoneme is performed, and the number of words spoken within the time is evaluated as a score. Change = Paired t-test with baseline score and week 8 score. |
| Change of the geriatric depression scale (GDS) score | Baseline and Week 8 | It is a tool to evaluate degree of depression. Possible scores range from 0(lowest depression) to 21 (highest depression). Change = Paired t-test with baseline score and week 8 score. |
