Filter by:Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a transitional state between normal aging and early dementia, characterized by memory deficits without functional impairment. Cognitive decline prevalence is increasing in older adults, impacting independence and quality of life. Motor dysfunctions, often overlooked in MCI, contribute to these limitations. Action Observation Therapy (AOT), a rehabilitation approach involving observing and imitating motor gestures, promotes brain plasticity through the mirror neuron system. While AOT has shown effectiveness in various populations, its application in MCI is understudied. This study aims to investigate the effects of AOT on cognition, upper and lower limb function, daily activities, gait, and balance in MCI patients. It also compares outcomes when patients observe therapists or MCI individuals with similar characteristics. Primary objectives include comparing AOT efficacy between these groups and a control group. Secondary objectives focus on upper limb functionality, daily activities, balance, cognition, and gait.
The goal of this randomized controlled double-blind parallel-group interventional trial is to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with molecular hydrogen and pyrroloquinoline quinone in elderly. The main questions it aims to answer are: (1) whether the supplementation affects biomarkers of mitochondrial function in serum, and (2) whether the supplementation affects cognition and brain metabolism. The participants will be subjected to take the dietary supplement during 6 weeks.
