Brief Summary

This study investigates the effects of somatosensory cognitive games interventions on older adults' cognitive and physical functions. The investigators plan to recruit up to 100 participants and randomly assign them to a control group or an experimental group. The experimental group will participate in somatosensory cognitive games for 12 weeks, while the control group will receive routine care. Data will be collected via questionnaires to examine whether somatosensory cognitive games can delay declines in cognitive and physical functions in older adults.

Cognitive Function

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)

  MoCA is one of the key cognitive function outcomes that investigators expect to improve after somatosensory cognitive games. MoCA assesses six cognitive dimensions, with a total score of 30. A score of 26 or higher is considered normal. MoCA score of ≤24 may indicate a risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), while a MoCA score of ≤20 may indicate a risk of dementia.

  3 month follow-up

• Color Trails Test (CTT)

  CTT is one of the key cognitive function outcomes that investigators expect to improve after somatosensory cognitive games. CTT is widely used to assess executive function and processing speed. The first part (CTT-1) evaluates visual-motor skills and attention, while the second part of the CTT (CTT-2) assesses sequencing and cognitive flexibility. Scoring is based on the time required to complete the test, with cutoff times of 240 seconds for CTT-1 and 330 seconds for CTT-2. Shorter completion times indicate better executive function and processing speed.
