Motor Signature, Falls Risk, and Home-Based Interventions in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment
Motor Signature, Falls Risk, and Home-Based Interventions in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment
A single-blinded, randomized controlled trial is designed to compare the effects of social
 interaction, computerized cognitive training, lower extremity strengthening, and tai chi
 chuan on improving cognitive functions and gait/mobility and reducing falls among 228
 subjects with mild cognitive impairment, in which the influence of adherence to the
 intervention programs will also be examined.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  At least 65 years old

 -  Had a fall at least 3 months prior to the baseline assessment

 -  Can ambulate independently

 -  Has mild cognitive impairment

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Cannot ambulate independently and communicate with researchers

 -  Have a major unstable cardiopulmonary disease (e.g., ischemic chest pain, shortness of
 breath, recurrent syncopal episodes, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea,
 palpitations, or tachycardia)

 -  Have a contraindication to physical exercise (e.g., severe osteoarthritis or severe
 pulmonary hypertension)
