简要总结
previous studies indicated that sensory input can have positive impacts on finger force control in the elderly. Additionally, according to previous reports, apart from pharmacotherapy, nonpharmacologic interventions, such as psychosocial-environmental treatments, are emerging for the behavior and affective symptoms in AD . Moreover, enhanced finger force control and coordination lead to better hand dexterity and is believed to eventually improve life independence in the healthy elderly and the elderly with AD. Therefore, this study aims to develop novel virtual visual and haptic stimulation systems for the elderly to enhance their finger force control.
