MI-összefoglaló

A vizsgálat saját részvételi feltételeiből. Gép olvasta ki az oldalon álló regiszterszövegből, ezért tévedhet. Hogy ki vehet részt, azt a lenti regiszterszöveg és a vizsgálat csapata dönti el.

The trial is looking for adults aged 50 to 75 with mild cognitive impairment (mild memory or thinking problems that are not dementia). It compares hand, finger and virtual reality exercises.

Mit akar kideríteni a vizsgálat

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.
