Abstract

Object: To explore training effects of eye movement on improving basic cognitive ability of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients and normal aging (NA) people. Methods: In this study, patients with light degree of MCI and NA people of 60 - 75 years old were recruited as subjects; a test scale technique of basic recognition ability was applied; matching groups were designed with transverse and longitudinal comparisons; before and after experiments, the groups of the sensory integration training and control were respectively tested with the basic recognition ability; then all measured data were statistically processed. Result: Eye movement training can effectively improve the basic recognition ability of MCI patients and NA people. Conclusion: The sensory integration training plays an important role in improving the cognitive ability of MCI patients and NA people.

Highlights

  • The term of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) was first introduced by Reisberg B in 1988 [1]

  • Before the intervention, according to the basic matches of sex, age, number of years of education, and the achievement of Minimum Mental State Examination (MMSE) score and Raven Standard Reasoning test, the subjects were divided into training and control groups

  • We found that after a long period of sensory integration training, MCI older people significantly improved in the perceptual identification, similar comparison and memory breadth

Summary

Introduction

The term of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) was first introduced by Reisberg B in 1988 [1]. We have not found any high-quality report to support effective pharmacologic treatments for MCI. In patients with MCI, exercise training (6 months) is likely to improve cognitive measures and cognitive training may improve cognitive measures [2]. Exercise training of eye movement is the cognitive process that transmits visual stimulation to the brain through the optic nerve con du cti on path and makes integration. The effective training of the cognitive function of the brain can help develop brain potential and delay the process of brain decline [5, 6]
