Abstract

Objective: This study attempted to investigate effects of group-based computer-assisted cognitive rehabilitation for patients with cognitive impairment. Methods: A total of 11 patients with cognitive impairment were included in the study. Cognitive impairment and activities of daily living were assessed using Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Cognitive Abilities. Screening Instrument (CASI C-2.0), Digit Span subtest (DS), Trail Making Test part A (TMT-A), Color Trail Making Test (CTT), Functional Independence Measure (FIM), and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living scale (IADLs) at the beginning of the study, soon after receiving the intervention. Treatment was scheduled for 2 hours per week for 2 months. Results: Positive intervention effects were found in global cognitive functional tests, including MMSE, MoCA and CASI C-2.0, which had statistically significant difference (p＜0.05). Near-significant improvements were noted in the TMT-A and IADLs(p=0.07). Conclusion: Group-based computer-assisted cognitive rehabilitation for patients with cognitive impairment was effective in improving their global cognitive function, especially in attention ability; enhancement of basic cognitive functions may indirectly improve IADL function. Further studies are needed to clarify the actual effect of group-based computer-assisted cognitive rehabilitation in patients with cognitive impairment.
