Cognitive-motor Intervention Using Virtual Reality for Middle-aged Individuals at High Dementia Risk

NCT02832921 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 200

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary objective of this program is to apply a virtual reality (VR) cognitive-motor intervention (compared to active and passive control groups) to delay or slow cognitive decline of middle-aged adults who have a family history of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and thus are at particularly high risk of developing the disease.

Conditions

  • Alzheimer's Disease (AD)

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

cognitive training by virtual reality

BEHAVIORAL

watching a scientific TV documentary

DEVICE

treadmill

VR cognitive training will be augmented by walking on a treadmill, since it is well established that dual tasking-i.e. performing the VR-based cognitive effort together with a motor task, even as simple as walking on a treadmill-places greater demand on cognitive resources than a "single task".
