Brief Summary

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

This study aims to (1) develop and assess the feasibility of a fi-VRCT program based on IADL for older adults with MCI, (2) implement and evaluate the effectiveness of the fi-VRCT program based on IADL in older adults with MCI, and (3) investigate the potential mechanism of the fi-VRCT program based on IADL for older adults with MCI and refine this intervention accordingly.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

As research on cognitive training methods for older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) progresses, fully immersive virtual reality cognitive training (fi-VRCT) has emerged as a promising approach. While the benefits of fi-VRCT for enhancing cognitive function have been recognized, its potential to improve instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) and promote independence remains uncertain. This study addresses these questions by developing and validating a fi-VRCT program based on IADL to enhance cognitive and IADL performance among older adults with MCI.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

VR Group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

fi-VR Cognitive Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

All participants will 16 sessions over eight weeks, with two sessions per week, each lasting 70 minutes. Participants in the fi-VRCT will use the virtual reality system with head-mounted display and handheld controllers. The fi-VRCT will be administered by an experienced research assistant.

Control Group

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Traditional Cognitive Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

All participants will 16 sessions over eight weeks, with two sessions per week, each lasting 70 minutes. The CT control program will include cognitive board games designed to improve various cognitive capacities. Certified community occupational therapists will lead the CT control group.
