Video games versus ball-tossing to improve hand–eye coordination in older adults with mild cognitive impairment

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study will enroll adults aged 60 and older with mild cognitive impairment (MoCA 18–25) and normal or corrected vision. Participants will be assigned to either a video-game training program or a ball-tossing exercise regimen and will complete regular supervised sessions. Outcomes focused on visual-motor integration and perception will be measured with the Beery VMI and its supplemental tests, alongside cognitive screening scores. The trial directly compares two non-drug approaches to see which better improves hand–eye coordination relevant to daily activities.
