Indication for Modification of Patient Cognitive Status Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effectiveness of Two Predefined Groups With Cognitive Rehabilitation in Older Adults With the Program Neuron-up
Introduction. The application of new technologies for cognitive rehabilitation has increased
over the last years and has enabled occupational therapists to work more efficiently,
minimizing costs and time for analysis, management, and design of activities.
Objective. The purpose of the present study was to assess the effect of cognitive
intervention using the web platform Neuronup in a group of elderly subjects; the study is
based on the dependent variables (memory, attention, and language) analyzed with the
abbreviated Barcelona Test.
Subjects and Methods. Aquasi-experimental design was carried out with subjects assigned to
two groups: a control group (20 subjects) and an experimental group (20 subjects). The
abbreviated Barcelona Test was administered to assess patients before and after the
intervention with this software to draw conclusions.

abbreviated Barcelona Test was administered to assess patients before and after the
intervention with this software to draw conclusions.
Results. Analyses of variance (ANOVA), analyses of covariance (ANCOVA), and multivariate
analyses of variance (MANOVA) were perfomed in the memory, orientation, reading, and language
domains. Statistically signifcant differences were recorded in all domains except language
where scores remained the same.
Conclusion. It has been demonstrated that Neuronup is an effective program for improving
cognitive processes such as memory, attention, and orientation in older adults, hence it
would be beneficial to implement technology-based treatments conducted by specialized
professionals.
