Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Stroop test
Time Frame: 1 month
Stroop test is a quick measurement for ability of color perception and focusing attention Participants are asked to read 112 words with color within 2 min. Then, they are required to tell the color of these 112 words as color-word association. Finally, time of accomplishing task and number of correct read, corrections and errors are examined.
Trail making
Time Frame: 1 month
Trail making test is used to evaluate the attention and velocity. Participants are asked to sequentially connect 25 circles with number which was written in only one style (Line A), or to sequentially connect 25 circles with number which was written in two styles (Line B). The time used to complete the line A or B and the number of errors and fouls are recorded and analyzed.
Secondary Outcomes
- Beck Depression Index(Baseline, Month 1)
- Functional Independence(1 month)
- Quality of Life Assessment(1 month)
