Interventions

To conduct non&#45
specific computer training&#44
the Nintendo Wii (Nintendo&#44
Japan) was used. It introduced a new style of virtual reality by using a wireless controller that interacts with the player through an avatar and a motion detection system. The controller use embedded
direction&#44
and speed that enable subjects to interact with the games. A&#45
2 point infrared light sensor&#44
mounted on top of television&#44
captures and reproduces on the screen the movement from the controller as performed by subjects. In this study&#44
3 sports games (table tennis&#44
sword play&#44
and archery) that used to effect on cognitive function from Wii Sports Resorts were used in accordance with a previous study. In each session&#44
the subjects played each game for 10 minutes. Detailed descriptions are presented at http://wiisportsresort.com/ ,The CoTras program (Netblue&#44
Korea) made for Korean was used for cognition&#45
specific computer training. The CoTras consists of various training programs including attention&#44
and visual spatial abilities. This program was designed for patients with cognitive impairment in order to improve cognitive function. The CoTras panel with large buttons makes the training easy for s
and visual spatial ability were trained for 10 minutes with each of the 3 trainings. All the subjects showed no adverse effects in the use of computer during the sessions.
