简要总结
This study aims to investigate the effects of sensory integration training on cognitive functions, quality of life, and social participation in older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)
详细描述
Sensory impairments are highly prevalent among older adults and have significant effects on the cognitive and functional outcomes of aging. Although the relationship between sensory functions and cognitive processes has been clearly established in the literature, the underlying neurobiological and psychosocial mechanisms of this link are yet to be fully elucidated. In an era of increasing dementia prevalence, older individuals with sensory deficiencies constitute a critical and growing risk group that warrants investigation for a deeper understanding of cognitive aging. Epidemiological data indicate that impairments in visual, auditory, and other individual sensory systems are consistently associated with cognitive decline and the development of dementia.
In this context, our study proposes sensory integration training as a potential intervention to bridge the gap between sensory input and cognitive performance.

Quick Mild Cognitive Impairment Screen - Turkish Version
时间窗: 6 months
Quick Mild Cognitive Impairment Screen - Turkish Version is a cognitive assessment tool consisting of six sub-headings covering at least five cognitive domains. The sub-headings and the cognitive domains they assess are defined as follows: 1. Orientation: (Questioning the country, year, month, day, and date - approx. 1 minute - 10 points) 2. Registration: (Working memory; repeating 5 given words - 30 seconds - 5 points) 3. Clock Drawing: (Visuospatial; drawing a clock within 1 minute - 15 points) 4. Delayed Recall: (Episodic memory; recalling the 5 previously mentioned words - 30 seconds - 20 points) 5. Verbal Fluency: (Semantic memory/language; naming animals within 1 minute - 20 points) 6. Logical Memory: (Episodic memory; repeating a short story - 1 minute - 30 points) Scoring and Interpretation The test is evaluated out of a total of 100 points, where higher scores indicate better cognitive status. A score of 62 points or below indicates cognitive impairment.
