A New 360° Dual-task Based Protocol for the Pre-clinical In-hospital and At-home Rehabilitation of Elderly: DUAL-Rehab
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
360° media: sessions with head mounted display in hospital and sessions with tablet at home
Treatment As Usual (TAU): sessions of TAU rehabilitation in hospital and sessions TAU rehabilitation at home
In hospital sessions: sessions will be carried out under the supervision of a therapist
at home sessions: sessions will be carried out without the supervision of a therapist
Mild Cognitive Impairment: half of this group will perform the protocol with 360° videos and the other half will perform the TAU
Subjective Memory Complain: half of this group will perform the protocol with 360° videos and the other half will perform the TAU
Study summary
The main objective of this project is two-fold
1. to develop a Dual-Task training exploiting the potentiality of the 360° technology in terms of interactivity and ecological validity
2. to investigate its efficacy in improving the cognitive functioning in a randomized clinical trial for 2 different populations: subjects with subjective memory complaints and mild cognitive impairment.
Specifically, participants will follow an integrated training including 2 phases: 1)in-hospital rehabilitation, where subjects will be provided sessions of the training in immersive modality; 2)at-home rehabilitation, where older adults will be asked to perform at home the non-immersive version of the training using a tablet.
Expected outcome is an improvement in cognitive functioning (assessed with a complete neuropsychological battery) after the training, thus advancing literature about non-pharmacological interventions in the preclinical stages of dementia along with innovative technical instruments.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Cognitive functions — Immediately after the training experience
Improvement in cognitive functioning assessed with a complete neuropsychological battery focused on different domains such as executive function, memory, and attention. - Motor functions — Immediately after the training experience
Improvement in motor functioning assessed with specific test focused on balance, functional mobility, and walking speed
