Summary

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is defined as an impairment in a single cognitive function, usually memory, other than normal cognitive decline with age, that does not fulfil dementia criteria. Finger movements have been shown to stimulate the sensory-motor and cognitive parts of the cerebral cortex, as well as the supplementary motor area, Broca's area, premotor cortex, and prefrontal cortex, all of which contribute to movement skills. Asymmetrical hand and finger movements done concurrently were proven to improve cognitive processes and cerebral blood flow more than movements performed with one hand.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Bimanual Exercise

The bimanual exercise group consists of exercises that involve movements in which both hands are used simultaneously. The bimanual exercise group will have 40 minutes of training for 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks.

OTHER

Finger Exercise

The finger exercise group consists of exercises that involve finger movements. The bimanual exercise group will have 40 minutes of training for 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks.

OTHER

Virtual Reality

The virtual reality exercise group consists of hand-tracking game exercises that involve finger movements. The bimanual exercise group will have 40 minutes of training for 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks.
