Virtual Exercise For Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment
- Conditions
- Mild Cognitive Impairment
- Interventions
- Behavioral: tai ji quanBehavioral: Stretching
- Registration Number
- NCT05318703
- Lead Sponsor
- Oregon Research Institute
- Brief Summary
This project is designed to develop and evaluate an Internet-based exercise intervention (tai ji quan Moving to Improve Brain Health) using real-time videoconferencing for older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
- Detailed Description
The project has three major goals: (a) transforming an in-person tai ji quan brain health intervention protocol into an online (virtual) class protocol and evaluating its feasibility of implementation in older adults with MCI, (b) developing and evaluating online assessment and data ascertainment procedures that encompass cognitive and physical performance measures, and (c) conducting a randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of this new online intervention protocol with a conventional stretching exercise group in older adults with MCI.

Change in executive function as assessed by Category Fluency for Animals baseline, 16 weeks assess change from baseline executive function at 16 weeks
number of dropouts from the intervention and study as assessed by a study recording sheet 16 weeks assess intervention dropout rate and retention rate
Number of participants expressing intervention program satisfaction as assessed by a self-report survey 16 weeks assess the program acceptability among tai ji quan participants
Change in global cognitive function assessed by Montreal Cognitive Assessment baseline, 16 weeks assess change from baseline cognitive function at 16 weeks
Change in cognitive functioning assessed by Everyday Cognition baseline, 16 weeks assess change from baseline cognitive functioning at 16 weeks
Change in balance using a 4-stage balance test baseline, 16 weeks assess change from baseline in balance at 16 weeks
Change in physical performance as measured by Timed Up and Go test baseline, 16 weeks assess change from baseline in the ability to stand up from a chair, walk, and sit down at 16 weeks
change in leg strength as assessed by 30-second chair stand test baseline, 16 weeks assess change from baseline in leg strength at 16 weeks
(a) Total number of intervention sessions taught by instructors over the course of study (recorded by a class check sheet) and (b) total number of classes attended by participants over the course of intervention as recorded by class attendance sheet 16 weeks assess the extent to which interventionists successfully implement the prespecified exercise training protocol.
