• 1 other identifier: 6987-GOA
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 60
• Locations: 0 countries
• Sites: N/A

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to compare physical fitness, walking speed and hand reaction time measurements in older adults with different cognition levels according to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MOCA).

Conditions

Reaction Time; Physical Fitness

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• reaction time

  reaction time

  Participants are expected to complete the 3 sub-parameters of reaction time measurements in an average of 20 minutes, including rest periods

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• physical fitness

  Physical fitness tests are expected to take an average of 20 minutes.

Study Arms (2)

Case group (mild cognitive impairment)

geriatric population with mild cognitive impairment

Other: reaction time test; Other: Physical fitness test

Control Group (healthy elderly)

healthy older adults without cognitive impairment

Other: reaction time test; Other: Physical fitness test

Interventions

reaction time test OTHER

Reaction time tests consist of 3 sub-parameters as simple reaction time, selective reaction time and distinctive reaction time. Participants will do these tests on the computer.

Case group (mild cognitive impairment); Control Group (healthy elderly)

Physical fitness test OTHER

The physical fitness test will be evaluated with the senior fitness test used for geriatrics and the 8 meter walking speed test.

Case group (mild cognitive impairment); Control Group (healthy elderly)
