简要总结
This study tries to analyze the effectiveness of the application of the new technology in the maintenance of an active time. To do this, the investigators performed a laboratory test where they evaluated the physical and cognitive variables before and after the intervention and analyzed the improvement in the psychocognitive abilities in the experimental group and the use of physical and cognitive functions in the control group.
详细描述
The main objective of this study is the demonstration of the effectiveness of a motor task, making use of the Nintendo Wii video game console, in healthy elderly people, as well as demonstrating the interaction between the physical and cognitive aspects and the decline that in these functions causes the aging process. Methodology: A double blind, controlled and randomized clinical trial was developed on a total sample of 46 subjects, with a mean age of 72.59 years. For the collection of data, the following evaluation scales and computerized tests were passed (Cognitive Miniexamen, Depression Scale, Berg Scale, Tinetti Scale, Timed Up and Go test, Oddball Test and the Attention Network Test).

主要结局
Attention
时间窗: At the start and the end of the study (65 days)
This variable is obtained by performing two tests designed to quantify this cognitive function, using the E-prime computer program. Both tests are developed in the psychophysiology laboratory of the University of Seville. The first is to complete the "Test Oddball" and the second the "Attention Network Test-ELDERLY". Both tests measure the reaction times, in seconds and, the precision, in percentages. It involves two continuous quantitative measurements.
Memory
时间窗: At the start and the end of the study (65 days)
This variable is obtained from the score obtained in the scale called Miniexamen Cognitive (MEC), in which the subject must: respond to a series of questions that we perform related to the orientation, try to set a series of three words that the evaluator says to remember them later, develop a series of calculations, and work on a series of aspects related to language and its construction. At the end of the test, the subject obtains a score that determines the presence or absence of a cognitive problem. We consider it as a discrete quantitative variable.
Balance
时间窗: At the start and the end of the study (65 days)
This variable is studied using the Berg scale, which allows to quantify the balance of the subject in different positions, obtaining a global score that guides us on the general state of the balance function and guides us on a wheelchair dependence, the use of some technical help or total independence for the development of the march. We consider it as a discrete quantitative variable
Gait
时间窗: At the start and the end of the study (65 days)
This variable is configured by the application of the "Timed up and Go test" scale, which quantifies the time the subject takes to get up from a chair, walk 3 meters and return back to the starting position. We consider this variable as continuous quantitative
Global autonomy and risk of falls
时间窗: At the start and the end of the study (65 days)
This variable is analyzed through the application of the Tinetti Scale, which evaluates in a single instrument the function of balance and gait, as well as the risk of falls that elderly people present. In this sense, we can consider that it evaluates global autonomy. We consider this variable as discrete quantitative.
