Aerobic Exercise: The aerobic exercise intervention consists of a 12-week outdoor walking program, performed twice weekly for 45 minutes per session at a moderate intensity, targeting a score of 12-14 on the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale
Sensory Integration Training: The program includes activities that stimulate three main senses: vestibular (balance and movement), proprioceptive (body awareness), and tactile (touch). These exercises are designed to help the brain organize sensory signals more effectively to improve daily functions and cognitive performance.
Study summary
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)
Eligibility
Sex
ALL
Min age
65 Years
Max age
85 Years
Healthy volunteers
No
Inclusion Criteria:
* Being between 65 and 85 years of age
* Having a Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score between 18 and 25, indicating mild cognitive impairment
* Being in stable medical health, with no history of severe neurological or psychiatric disorders
* Voluntary participation
Exclusion Criteria:
* Clinical diagnosis of dementia or having moderate-to-severe cognitive impairment
* Severe visual or hearing loss to a degree that prevents effective communication or participation in assessments
* Presence of severe sensory, motor, or physical disabilities that render the intervention (e.g., walking or sensory training) impossible to perform
* Acute medical conditions or having unstable chronic diseases that may pose a risk during physical activity.
Primary outcome measure(s)
Quick Mild Cognitive Impairment Screen - Turkish Version — 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.
