“…In said programs, techniques and appropriate strategies are applied to address memory failures and that independently claim to improve the quality of life, functional capacity, and personal autonomy. Some studies point to the fact that through cognitive one can improve his or her mental state as evaluated by the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and memory and demonstrated through word lists and tests of memory association (Breuil et al, 1994).…”

Martínez-Vidal A, Prada A, Díaz MP, Martínez-Patiño MJ. Effect of a combined program of physical activity and intellectual activity in the cognitive functioning of the elderly. J. Hum. Sport Exerc. Vol. 6, No. 2, pp. 462-473, 2011. Aerobic exercise done in an enriched environment with intellectual activity seems to improve cognitive performance associated with the aging process of humans, although the results can sometimes be contradictory. The objective of the present study was to ascertain to what degree the practice of combined aerobic exercise and memory strategies improve the cognitive functioning, in general, and to a more concrete measure in the cognitive memory domain of the elderly. Sixteen subjects, the majority of which were women with only two of which were men, participated in the investigation. The average age of all participants was 71. A prospective, longitudinal, and intra-subject design was to evaluate the cognitive abilities before and after the intervention, using a modified Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) as the instrument of measure. The intervention lasted over a period of eight months and consisted in a physical activity program based upon various abilities of displacement as well as association, sequential, and imagination memory strategies. The recall differential variable presented statistical differences significant at the 95% confidence interval to the degree pre and post intervention (t= -4.842; sig = 0.000; with the limits at -1.71028 y -0.66472) while the other cognitive domains showed general improvement in the post-intervention measures although no reaching significant levels. On the other hand, it was demonstrated by Cochran´s Q test that after the intervention, an overall incremental improvement existed in the number of subjects that responded correctly to all items in each cognitive domain, being most prominent and the only significant percent of subjects that after the program responded correctly to all of the items in the recall (0.011). No significant improvements were shown in the terms of age group nor in terms of initial cognitive function (U of Mann Whitley), however, the subjects who initially had the lowest cognitive level are among those that benefited the most from the program.

“…Di antara intervensi tersebut, terapi stimulasi kognitif (TSK) terbukti menawarkan hasil yang paling memuaskan (Breuil, De Rotrou, & Forette, 1994), sehingga semakin dikenal sebagai penangan alternatif bagi penderita demensia karena bukan saja meningkatkan fungsi kognitif pada penderita demensia ringan-sedang, tetapi juga efeknya setara dengan beberapa obat-obatan psikotropika seperti astetilkolin (Spector, et al, 2003). Bahkan Woods, et al, (2009), dalam kajian Cochrane-nya terhadap 9 penelitian RCT (bukti penelitian level tertinggi) menyimpulkan bahwa keefektifan TSK saat ini diakui melebihi efek obat-obatan.…”

AbstrakTerapi Stimulasi Kelompok (TSK) merupakan terapi kelompok yang terbukti efektif meningkatkan fungsi kognitif lanjut usia dengan demensia ringan-sedang. Penelitian ini bertujuan membuktikan efektifitas TSK dengan 14 sesi terhadap peningkatan fungsi kognitif di Kelurahan Binong, Tangerang, Indonesia. Sebanyak 43 orang mengikuti skrining demensia dengan Mental State Examination (MMSE) rentang. Jumlah responden yang mengukti pretes 24 orang. Attrition rate responden mencapai 79,1%. Hanya lima responden mengikuti TSK hingga pos-tes. Kendati ada kenaikan skor MMSE 2,4 poin antara pre-dan pos-test, namun berdasarkan paired t test, tidak ada perbedaan signifikan antara skor MMSE pre-dan pos-tes secara keseluruhan (p=0,080; α=0,05)dan tidak ada perbedaan pre dan pos-tes untuk tiap domain fungsi kognitif. Kecilnya jumlah sampel dapat memengaruhi hasil penelitian ini. Penelitian lebih lanjut dengan ukuran sampel lebih besar dibutuhkan guna memvalidasi temuan penelitian ini.

“…Dichos resultados son coincidentes con literatura previa, tanto para anteriores aplicaciones de la TEC (Spector et al, 2001;Spector et al, 2003), como para otros programas de estimulación cognitiva de estructura semejante (Bach, Bach, Böhmer, Frühwald & Grilc, 1995;Breuil et al, 1994;Tárraga et al, 2006;Woods et al, 2012). Estos resultados positivos pueden asociarse al conjunto de distintas técnicas utilizadas dentro de la sesiones de la TEC, sustentadas en otras terapias psicosociales, que a su vez también han presentado resultados favorables, tales como la terapia de reminiscencia, terapia de validación, terapia de orientación a la realidad, estimulación cognitiva activa, etc.…”

“…Dentro del paradigma de los abordajes psicosociales en demencia, un grupo de autores ingleses elaboró un tipo de tratamiento llamado Terapia de Estimulación Cognitiva (TEC) (Orrell, Spector, Thorgrimsen & Woods, 2005;Spector et al, 2003;Woods, Thorgrimsen, Spector, Royan & Orrell, 2006). Dicha intervención, que encuentra sus antecedentes en programas previos de estimulación cognitiva (Breuil et al, 1994), en la terapia de orientación a la realidad (Zanetti et al, 1995), reminiscencia (Hala, 1975) y validación (Bleathman & Morton, 1996), se define como un programa de apoyo y potenciación global de las personas en las etapas tempranas de la demencia que abarcaría dimensiones como la cognición, afectividad, relaciones interpersonales, comunicación y lenguaje .…”
