Brief summary

This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of neuroscience-based visual laser feedback map tests in individuals with Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome (MCRS). The developed assessment protocol integrates visuospatial processing, reaction time, and upper extremity motor control within a single task. Construct validity will be examined through correlations with reaction time and proprioception measurements, and test-retest reliability will be assessed to determine measurement consistency.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Visual-laser feedback map test performance	Baseline	Performance parameters including completion time (seconds), reaction time (milliseconds), movement accuracy, and total performance score obtained from the figure-of-eight tracing and directional target tracking tasks.

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Reaction time	Baseline	Reaction time will be assessed using the Light Trainer system. The response time to visual stimuli will be recorded in milliseconds.
Shoulder proprioception	Baseline	Shoulder joint position sense will be assessed using the joint repositioning test. Absolute error will be recorded in degrees.
Test-retest reliability	Baseline and 7-day follow-up	Test-retest reliability of the visual-laser feedback map tests will be evaluated using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC).
Measurement error	Baseline and 7-day follow-up	Measurement error will be calculated using the Standard Error of Measurement (SEM) and Minimal Detectable Change (MDC).
