Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Purpose: Healthy aging is the process of optimizing opportunities for health, participation and safety in order to improve quality of life as people age. This study aimed to provide healthy aging for people with cognitive impairment through the use of the Nintendo Switch combined with Occupational Therapy sessions.

Material and methods: a randomized clinical trial was conducted. The sample was randomized using a software program, OxMar, which allowed the separation of the sample into a control group (CG), which received their usual sessions of conventional occupational therapy, and an experimental group (EG), which received therapy with Nintendo Switch, plus their conventional occupational therapy sessions. An 8-week intervention was conducted with Nintendo Switch.

Measures: Nine Hole Peg Test, Box and Block Test, Barthel Index, WHOQOL-BREF, CSQ-8.
