Brief Summary

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

This study explores the impact of task-oriented station training on the cognitive levels and hand functions of elderly residents in nursing homes. Utilizing methods like tele-rehabilitation, face-to-face sessions, and home-based programs, this research aims to determine the most effective approach for improving the cognitive and manual skills of this population. The hypothesis driving this study is that targeted task-oriented training can significantly improve the cognitive functions and hand dexterity of elderly individuals living in nursing homes, potentially enhancing their quality of life and independence. Participants receive different types of interventions-tele-rehabilitation, direct face-to-face training, and guided home programs-to evaluate which modality most effectively supports cognitive and hand function improvements. The study's design is randomized and assesses the outcomes through various established psychological and physical tests. With an aging global population, such strategies are crucial for maintaining the independence and quality of life of our elderly, potentially reducing the need for intensive care solutions and allowing for longer periods of self-sufficiency and well-being. This summary presents the study in a straightforward manner, explaining the purpose, hypothesis, methods, and significance of the research to make it accessible to non-specialist readers.

Face-to-Face Interventions

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Face-To-Face Task-orianted Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

In this study, face-to-face task-oriented station training is provided by trained occupational therapists to elderly nursing home residents. Each session involves structured activities that simulate real-world challenges designed to improve cognitive and hand functions. These include exercises to enhance fine motor skills, hand strength, coordination, and cognitive tasks such as problem-solving and memory exercises.

Tele-Rehabilitation

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Tele-Rehabilitation Task-orianted Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This intervention utilizes video-conferencing technology to deliver task-oriented training to elderly nursing home residents, focusing on cognitive and hand function improvements.

Home-Based Training

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Home-based Task-orianted Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Home-Based Task-Oriented Training Intervention Description:

This home-based intervention involves a series of task-oriented activities specifically designed to improve cognitive and hand functions for elderly residents in nursing homes. Participants carry out prescribed activities independently, based on detailed guides provided by occupational therapists. The activities are tailored to stimulate cognitive processes and enhance fine motor skills, including tasks like sorting, assembling, and manipulative exercises that replicate daily challenges. Each participant follows a structured program of daily 45-minute sessions for two weeks, with periodic remote check-ins by therapists to assess progress and adjust the difficulty of tasks as needed. This format allows participants to engage in rehabilitation at their own pace, within the comfort of their own living spaces, fostering greater autonomy and adherence to the intervention.
