Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of finger exercises and cognitive training on cognitive function, ability of daily living and quality of life of elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment. Methods About 90 elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. In the experimental group finger exercises and cognitive training were implemented, and the control group was given routine care and health education. 3 months and 6 months after the intervention, the two groups were compared in respect of the cognitive function, ability of daily living and quality of life. Results The difference of cognitive function, daily living ability and quality of life in the elderly were statistically significant between the two groups 3 month and 6 month after the intervention (P<0.05). Pairwise comparison done at three time points (before intervention, 3 months and 6 months after intervention) in the experimental group showed that the difference of cognitive function, daily living ability and quality of life in the elderly were statistically significant between before intervention and 3 months after intervention, before intervention and 6 months after intervention. Conclusion The finger exercises and cognitive training in elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment can effectively strengthen the cognitive function and ability of daily living, and improve the quality of life.
