Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a disorder in which children show insufficient attention span, hyperactivity and impulsivity according to their developmental level. It is stated that in the absence of rehabilitation, the child's social and academic functionality gradually deteriorates, there are problems in cognitive function processes and executive dysfunctions that affect daily life. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of cognitive occupational therapy interventions on executive functions in children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder. 21 children aged 9-12 years were included in the research (10 study group-11 control group). One individual and one group session was applied to the study group at Biruni University Occupational Therapy Unit as 2 times per week for 8 weeks. Both groups were evaluated at the beginning and after 8 weeks with Children's Color Trails Test, Verbal Fluency Test and Stroop Test T-Bag Form. Wilcoxon Paired Sample Test and Mann Whitney U Test were used for analysis of intervention results and comparison between groups.
Cognitive Remediation (CR) involving restorative and strategy-based methods has been previously validated in a pilot study for late life schizophrenia (LLS), where CR demonstrated a moderate effect on overall cognition. This study proposes to study the efficacy of CR in a larger cohort of participants with LLS and to assess the interaction of medication management with CR on cognitive outcomes. Eligible participants will receive CR during 12 weeks. CR consists of a series of computerized exercises targeting various cognitive functions, such as memory, attention and processing speed. It will be administered during facilitated group sessions consisting of 4-6 people. The study will recruit 40 participants with the aim to enroll 30 LLS participants age 55 or older who will undergo the CR intervention for two, 2-hour weekly classes over 12 weeks (24 classes in total). There will be baseline assessments (clinical and NP) prior to enrollment in the classes. In order to assess whether there has been a change in cognition, and some of the assessments will be repeated after the 12-week intervention.
This study aims to investigate the in-hospital care as well as the cognitive status, quality of life, physical function and risk of anxiety and depression, sleep disorders and drug use in a Danish cohort of both medical and surgical patients with acute critical illness without admittance to ICU (Intensive Care Unit) treatment, at three and twelve months after hospital discharge.
Patients assume that cognitive performance rapidly returns to baseline after anesthesia and surgery. Several studies have shown that one week after major non-cardiac surgery about 27% of patients have postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and 10% of patients at 3 months. Very few studies have assessed the incidence of POCD beyond 3 months. POCD significantly reduces quality of life. Identifying risk factors for POCD is important because it is associated with prolonged hospital stay, loss of independence, and premature retirement. There is an urgent need to measure and document the level of cognitive change associated with surgery with an easy to use tool, both prior to admission and after discharge. This information can be used to plan appropriate care paths and to identify or test the efficacy of potential new treatments to alter the negative trajectory.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate an innovative virtual reality-based balance training intervention for improving clinically relevant motor performances (balance and gait) in people with mild cognitive impairment. The investigators hypothesize that the virtual reality-based balance training intervention will improve balance and gait performances in people with mild cognitive impairment compared to a control group receiving usual care only.
