“…46 The BCSB and the MMSE were applied to assess the cognitive status of a group of patients with stroke sequelae who were submitted to two different physiotherapeutic methods. 47 To evaluate the association between performance prediction, an aspect of metamemory, and objective memory performance, 359 community-dwelling older adults completed the BCSB and answered a simple question. The question was: "If someone showed you a sheet with the drawings of 10 pictures to observe for 30 seconds, how many pictures do you think you could remember without seeing the sheet?".…”

ABSTRACT. Diagnosis of cognitive impairment is usually difficult in low-educated individuals. The Brief Cognitive Screening Battery (BCSB) was designed as a screening tool for the evaluation of cognitive impairment in low-educated individuals, but it may also be used for evaluating individuals with high educational level. Objectives: To perform a narrative review analyzing the origin of the BCSB, to report all studies that have used the Figure Memory Test (FMT) of the BCSB, and to demonstrate that it is a useful battery for regions where populations have heterogeneous educational background. Methods: We performed a search in PubMed, SciELO, and LILACS using the terms “Brief Cognitive Screening Battery” and “Brief Cognitive Battery”. Results: We obtained 49 papers from PubMed, 32 from SciELO, and 28 from LILACS. After the exclusion of duplicate papers, 54 publications were obtained; five more studies were included from previous knowledge of the authors. Twenty-four papers were related to the impact of education on performance, diagnostic accuracy, cutoff scores and normative studies. The delayed recall of the FMT showed the best accuracy for the diagnosis of dementia with a cutoff score of ≤5 in different education levels. In 35 papers, the FMT of the BCSB was used in clinical studies with different settings, from outpatient memory clinics to epidemiological studies and evaluation of Amazon river basin dwelling individuals, and it was always considered to be easy to apply. Conclusions: The FMT of the BCSB is an easy and short tool for the diagnosis of dementia in populations with heterogeneous educational background.

“…The exercise technique includes forward, backward, lateral, and oblique steps, with a progressive increase in the step pattern complexity. SSE has been applied as the main exercise in voluntary exercise salons for healthy elderly individuals (Mitsuishi et al, 2013), exercise programs that are aimed at preventing care needs for older adults (Jindo et al, 2015), and rehabilitation programs for post-stroke patients (Túbero et al, 2014). The SSE program consisted of a warm-up activity (15 min), SSE (40 min), a recreational activity (20 min), and a cool-down period (15 min).…”

During an exercise program for older adults, it is important that participants exercise not only in the exercise classroom but also in their daily lives. The present study investigated how goal-setting aimed at increasing daily physical activity by 1,000 steps per day, influenced lower-extremity physical function during the exercise program. The participants were non-randomly allocated to two groups: with goal-setting (n = 19, mean age: 68.9 ± 3.3 years) and without goal-setting (n = 13, mean age: 69.9 ± 4.2 years). Participants in the group with goal-setting were encouraged to increase their physical activity by 1,000 steps/day above their baseline step counts. All of the subjects in both groups participated in a square-stepping exercise program for 90 min once a week for 9 weeks. To determine the lower-extremity physical function benefits of the program, six types of test were performed before and after the program. There was a significant group-by-time interaction on daily physical activity (p < 0.001). The group with goal-setting significantly increased their physical activity, and the group without goal-setting did not change their physical activity. There were significant time effects in the 5-m habitual walk, choice stepping reaction time, and 6-min walk. There was a significant group-by-time interaction in the five-repetition sit-to-stand test (p = 0.006), and only the group without goal-setting improved their performance. Although we successfully increased daily physical activity using goal-setting, we could not confirm the effect of goal-setting on lower-extremity physical function.

Background The Square Stepping Exercise (SSE) is an exercise training program that integrates physical exercise and cognitive elements and can be conducted in a group setting. The potential of SSE in delaying cognitive decline in older adults is promising. However, the coronavirus pandemic has made it more difficult for older adults worldwide to exercise together in person. To address this issue, this study conducted a wholistic evaluation of the effects of a center-based hybrid SSE trial on cognitive, physical, psychological, and group functioning in sedentary older adults. Methods A total of 93 older adults (19 men, 74 women) participated in the study. Fifty-eight participants (9 men, 49 women) completed center-based hybrid SSE sessions over 12 weeks under coronavirus pandemic circumstances, whereas other 35 participants in the control group maintained their current level of daily activities. Cognitive functions focused on executive functions assessed by the Stroop Color-Word Test (inhibition) and the Trail Marking Test (TMT) (set-shifting). Psychological and group functioning were assessed by the Subjective Vitality Scale and the Physical Activity Group Environment Questionnaire. Physical function was evaluated by measuring gait speeds. A repeated ANOVA was conducted on the measured variables separately for the intervention and control groups to focus on the change of participant’s performance over data collection points. Results Outcomes of the Stroop Color-Word Test and the TMT revealed that the hybrid SSE was highly effective in improving executive function. Stroop performance (correct trials) was significantly improved in the incongruent condition, as well as both TMT-A and -B over the intervention period in the intervention group. The hybrid SSE was also beneficial to improve physical (gait speed at usual pace and at the maximum pace) as well as psychological functioning (subjective vitality). Furthermore, SSE participants reported increased engagement with the SSE task, social communication, and increased bonding and closeness with their group members through the hybrid SSE. Conclusions In this study, hybrid SSE was found to be effective in enhancing cognitive, physical, psychological, and group functioning in sedentary older adults. The findings of this study are crucial to provide older adults with a safer and efficient option to exercise.
