Summary

Different cognitive rehabilitation intervention methods have been developed for the treatment of cognitive dysfunctions seen in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation intervention applied with the telerehabilitation method in elderly patients with amnestic-MCI. Participants included in the study according to inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly assigned to the telerehabilitation and face-to-face groups. A 12-week cognitive rehabilitation intervention was applied to both groups. Pre- and post-intervention cognitive skills of the participants were evaluated using the Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment-Geriatric (LOTCA-G).

Detailed description

A single-blinded, feasibility randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigated changes in the cognitive functions of older adults with amnestic-MCI after CR interventions applied face-to-face and with telerehabilitation. The study was designed according to the CONSORT statement. Approval for the study was granted by the Local Ethics Committee. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants prior to the study. The demographic characteristics of the participants were recorded, including age, sex, education level, and marital status. All participants underwent a cognitive function assessment using the Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment-Geriatric twice, once before the intervention and again after the 12-week intervention. All participants were assessed in occupational therapy clinical practice units. Participants were randomized to either the Face-to-Face group (FF) or the Tele-rehabilitation group (TR) using a computer-generated randomization technique. After the randomization, cognitive rehabilitation intervention for both methods consist of 45-minute twice a week for 12 weeks. All participants received the intervention individually.
