What this trial studies
This study investigates the effects of a combined motor-cognitive intervention aimed at improving both motor and cognitive functions in older adults living in the community. Participants will engage in internet-based cognitive training three times a week, focusing on tasks that enhance attention, memory, and reasoning. Additionally, they will follow a home-based exercise program that includes flexibility, balance, aerobic, and resistance training, assessed through the Simple Physical Performance Battery. The goal is to evaluate the overall impact of these interventions on the participants' physical and cognitive abilities.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are older adults aged 60-80 years with mild cognitive impairment and slow gait.
Not a fit: Patients with dementia, severe cognitive impairments, or other significant health issues affecting their ability to participate will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly enhance the quality of life for older adults by improving their cognitive and physical functions.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising results with similar combined cognitive and motor training approaches, indicating potential for success.
