Exergame Balance Training for Patients With Mild Cognitive Impairment
Condition: Mild Cognitive Impairment
MeSH terms: Cognitive Dysfunction
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      This study will be a randomized control trial, which will be conducted on older adults with
      mild cognitive impairment. A specially designed Exergame balance training will be used for
      cognitive enhancement in patients with MCI. This training will determine the improvement in
      executive functioning, balance, speech and electrical activity of the brain.
    

Detailed description: 
      From last few years the line of research for cognitive enhancement has been shifted towards
      balance training as balance training is considered to directly stimulate the neuronal
      activity as compare to aerobic training. The previous finding also proposed that in aerobic
      training it is the intensity of training that improves the neuroplasticity and cognition but
      it is the neuro-cognitive demands and complexity of the task in balance training that affects
      the relationship between exercise and cognition in balance training. There is a need to
      determine the effect of the level of complexity of balance training on neural activity and
      executive functioning. Exergame augmented balance training is expected to have a better
      physical and cognitive outcome as compared to traditional balance training.
