Overview
Brief Summary
A single-blinded, randomized controlled trial is designed to compare the effects of social interaction, computerized cognitive training, lower extremity strengthening, and tai chi chuan on improving cognitive functions and gait/mobility and reducing falls among 228 subjects with mild cognitive impairment, in which the influence of adherence to the intervention programs will also be examined.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (MDRS)
Time Frame: 12 months
The Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (MDRS) contains five cognitive domains of attention, initiation/perseveration, construction, conceptualization, and memory, which specifically assess concentration, verbal fluency, visuospatial skills, analogical reasoning, and short-term memory, with score ranges for these domains of 0\~37, 0\~37, 0\~6, 0\~39, and 0\~25 points, respectively, and a total score range of 0\~144 points.
balance
Time Frame: 12 months
The Tinetti balance score ranges 0\~26, with a higher score indicating a better balance ability.
falls
Time Frame: 12 months
number of falls and multiple falls
mobility
Time Frame: 12 months
The timed up and go test requires subjects to rise from a standard chair, walk a distance of 3 m, turn, walk back to the chair, and sit down. The time to complete the timed up and go will be recorded.
modified Telephone Interview of Cognitive Status (TICS-M)
Time Frame: 12 months
The modified Telephone Interview of Cognitive Status (TICS-M) consists of the date of the interview, age, phone number, immediate and delayed word list recall, counting backward, responsive naming, word opposites, and repetition, with a total score range of 0\~50.
Secondary Outcomes
- fear of falling(12 months)
- depressive symptoms(12 months)
- activity of daily living (ADL)(12 months)
