Hand Training Device For Cognitive Care
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Game Software for Healthy Elderly and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Previous studies indicated that auditory stimulation as an external cue might have positive impacts on sensorimotor synchronization. Additionally, according to previous reports apart from traditional interventions, digitized game-based device, such as FTOMBVG, are beneficial for the brain activation in elderly. Moreover, enhanced finger force control and coordination lead to better hand dexterity and is believed to eventually improve life independence in the healthy elderly and the elderly with cognitive decline. Therefore, this study aims to develop an advanced systems based on the previous one, that can provide hand function rehabilitation, cognitive training, and emotional comfort for the elderly or people suffer from cognitive deficiency. They can enhance their finger force control or visual to motor synchronization by music embedded during the gaming process.
