Registry summary
Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) greatly affect memory and daily activities in older adults. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is an early stage of dementia, affecting about 17% of older adults. People with MCI often show problems with gait and balance, which doubles their risk of falling compared to cognitively healthy peers. Falls can cause injuries, increase sedentary behavior, and reduce physical activity. This decline in activity can also speed up the progression from MCI to dementia. Exercise can help older adults make healthy lifestyle changes; however, most of the existing exercise programs focus mainly on physical movement rather than cognitive function. Therefore, the investigators developed a new program that uses computer vision and a cloud-based system to provide more scalable, engaging, and personalized cognitive-motor training for OAwMCI. The purpose of this study is to investigate the short- and long-term effects of a novel CogXergaming training (CXT) paradigm for improving the cognitive-motor function, physical activity, falls efficacy, and quality of life.
