Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if the CO-OP (Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance) approach, supported by creative dance, can improve cognitive functions in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The study focuses on the effects of this intervention on executive functions, attention, memory, and dual-task performance.

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

Does the CO-OP approach with creative dance improve executive functions, attention, and memory more than CO-OP alone? How effective is this intervention in enhancing dual-task performance compared to the standard CO-OP approach?

Participants will:

Engage in either the CO-OP intervention alone or the CO-OP approach combined with creative dance for 8 weeks.

Complete cognitive tasks, participate in creative dance activities, and perform daily tasks during the sessions.

Conditions

  • Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

CO-OP with Creative Dance

The CO-OP with Creative Dance intervention integrates the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach with structured creative dance sessions. The CO-OP approach focuses on improving cognitive and functional performance through goal-setting, problem-solving, and the use of metacognitive strategies. Creative dance sessions involve simple, rhythmic movements aimed at enhancing motor coordination, memory, and attention. This intervention is administered three times per week for 60 minutes over 8 weeks. The sessions alternate between CO-OP activities and creative dance exercises.

BEHAVIORAL

CO-OP Only

The CO-OP Only intervention involves the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach, which is designed to improve cognitive and functional performance through structured goal-setting, problem-solving, and metacognitive strategies. Participants engage in activities focused on improving their ability to perform daily tasks by using cognitive tools to develop and execute solutions. The intervention is administered three times per week for 60 minutes over an 8-week period. No additional physical or dance activities are included in this arm.
