Dementia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Investigating the Effect of Training With a Virtual Reality Driving Simulator on Orientation Skills in Individuals With Some Memory Impairments
The proposed study aims to investigate the use of a driving simulator in a virtual reality
(VR) environment to improve the cognition state and spatial navigation of individuals with
mild/moderate memory impairment.
All volunteers will be assessed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA),Montgomery-Asberg
Depression Scale (MADRS) and Morris Water orientation tests for baseline assessment after
they sign the consent form and are enrolled into the study. Participants will also be
scheduled for post-intervention assessments (MADRS, Morris Water Orientation and a simple
questionnaire on how they evaluate the experiment).
Participants of the study will play the driving simulator daily (5 days/week) for 15-20
minutes/day over a period of 2 consecutive weeks. Participants' daily performance data are
recorded and uploaded on the secure server of the Priciple Investigator (PI).
Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ) test will also be run after the first session of the
experiment and at the end of the training period.
After obtaining their consent and enrolling into the study, participants of the study will
commit themselves to use the driving simulator daily (5 days/week), and 15-20 minutes/day for
a period of 2 consecutive weeks. The location for these simulation sessions will be one of
the Family rooms of the Lindenwood Retirement Community. During the experiment, the research
assistant (RA) of the study will be present and monitor participants for any plausible
simulator sickness. In case if a participant presents any simulator sickness symptom, the
experiment will be stopped and the RA will remain with the participant until s/he feels
alright to go back to his/her room or with a caregiver. The RA and PI may withdraw the
participant from the study if it is for their benefit.
Participants' performance data and the duration of which they practice are all being recorded
and uploaded on the secure server of the PI. After the end of the 2-week exercise program,
participants will be assessed again by Morris Water orientation test, SSQ, and MADRS; SSQ
test will also be run after the first session of the experiment.
Furthermore, their feedback about using the driving simulator will be collected through a
