Cognitive Integrated Motor Training for Mild Cognitive Impairment
This study is testing a new type of training called Personalized cognitive-sensorimotor VR/MR training. This training combines thinking tasks with walking and balance exercises using virtual or mixed reality. It's designed for older adults (ages 65-85) who have mild cognitive impairment (problems with memory or thinking). The goal is to see if this training can improve walking and balance, reduce falls, and also affect thinking ability and brain activity. Researchers will compare this new training to standard walking and balance training. They will measure improvements in walking and balance after 10 weeks. The study plans to enroll 40 participants, but its current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This study is an interventional study planning to enroll 40 participants. It compares two types of training: Personalized cognitive-sensorimotor VR/MR training and Standard of Care.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive either Personalized cognitive-sensorimotor VR/MR training or standard walking and balance training. Walking and balance will be measured at 10 weeks.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants' walking and balance will be assessed at 10 weeks after the start of the training.

What this trial measures
- Timed Up and Go (TUG)10 weeks
TUG is a clinical test of functional gait abilities and dynamic balance. The participants will be asked to walk a distance of 3 meters from a seated position, turn around, walk back to the chair and sit back in the chair. The time taken to perform the task will be recorded using a stop watch. The TUG will be repeated multiple times. The participant may be asked to hold a plastic cup or count backwards by three from a randomly selected number while walking.
- 10 Meter walk test10 weeks
Participants will be asked to walk about 12 meters. The time taken to walk 10 meters will be recorded.
- Berg balance Assessment10 weeks
This is a test that measures balance on a 5-point during routine tasks. The participant will be asked to perform 14 tasks involving: sitting, standing, reaching, lifting, and turning.
- Fall Risk10 weeks
The silver index will be measured using the Hunova (Movendo Srl., Italy) to quantify the risk of falls. The Silver Index tasks include static balance while eyes are open or closed, dynamic balance while standing on passive and elastic surfaces, limits of stability, reactive balance during perturbations, 6-meter walk, and sit-to-stand.
- Balance10 weeks
Root-mean-square of COM and COP displacements will be used to quantify balance tasks. COP will be obtained from Hunova. Whole body COM will be obtained using motion capture.
- Temporal characteristics10 weeks
This test assesses deviations in timing of steps during walking.
- Spatial characteristics10 weeks
This test assesses deviations in steplength during walking.
- Physiological10 weeks
The participants will wear small sensors on their body to assess the activity of the brain and muscles during walking and balancing tasks.
- Digit Span (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale [WAIS-IV])10 weeks
This test assesses attention and working memory.
- Flanker Inhibitory Control and Attention Test10 weeks
This test assesses the allocation of limited attentional capacities to deal with an abundance of environmental stimulation. The test measures attention and the ability to inhibit response that may interfere with the ability to achieve goals.
- Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT)10 weeks
This test assesses processing speed without a motor component
- Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT)10 weeks
This test assesses information processing speed \& ability and working memory
- Letter-Number Sequencing (WAIS-IV)10 weeks
This test assesses working memory
- Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System10 weeks
Selected subtests to assess executive function.
- Community Ambulation10 weeks
This test quantifies the amount of physical activity in the community using IMU sensors that participants will wear.
- Continuous Performance Task10 weeks
This test assesses attention.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)1 week
MRI scans will be performed to assess the structure and function of the brain while the participant is lying quietly in the MRI scanner.
