Exploring the Effectiveness of Somatosensory Cognitive Game Intervention on Cognitive and Physical Functions

Exploring the Effectiveness of Somatosensory Cognitive Game Intervention on Cognitive and Physical Functions in Older Adults

This study investigates the effects of somatosensory cognitive games interventions on older adults' cognitive and physical functions. The investigators plan to recruit up to 100 participants and randomly assign them to a control group or an experimental group. The experimental group will participate in somatosensory cognitive games for 12 weeks, while the control group will receive routine care. Data will be collected via questionnaires to examine whether somatosensory cognitive games can delay declines in cognitive and physical functions in older adults.

This study investigates the effects of somatosensory cognitive games interventions on the cognitive and physical functions of older adults. The investigators plan to recruit 80 participants and randomly assign them to either a control group or an experimental group. The experimental group will participate in somatosensory cognitive games for 12 weeks, twice a week, about 30 minutes per session; the control group will receive usual care without any specific intervention. All participants will complete four questionnaire assessments to examine whether somatosensory cognitive games can slow decline in cognitive and physical functions.
