“…WM is a system that protects and manages information temporarily during the planning and execution of many cognitive tasks, and an active WM is required for all occupational performance areas, from the completion of dressing without reminder to the ability to do their homework independently (Kulkarni and Moningi, 2015; Nouchi and Kawashima, 2014). In this study, most families’ “true” or “definitely true” answers to statements such as “Has difficulty remembering what he/she is doing, in the middle of an activity” and “When asked to do several things, he/she only remembers the first or last” may express the influence of WM on children with MB.…”

Introduction This study examines executive functions and occupational performances of children with medulloblastoma and children with typical development. The aim was to compare the executive function and occupational performance levels of children with medulloblastoma and children with typical development and to investigate the relationship between the executive function and occupational performance levels of children with medulloblastoma. Method Parents of 105 children (6–12 years) completed the Childhood Executive Function Inventory. A total of 105 children were administered the Canadian Occupational Performance Measurement to obtain information on occupational performance areas. Executive functions and occupational performance levels of children with medulloblastoma ( n = 52) and typical development ( n = 53) were compared. Correlation analysis was conducted between the executive functions and occupational performances of children with medulloblastoma. Results Executive function and occupational performance levels of children with medulloblastoma were lower than those with typical development. Significant relationships were found between the executive functions and occupational performances of children with medulloblastoma ( p < 0.05, p < 0.001). Conclusion It is clear that the executive functions of children with medulloblastoma significantly affect their occupational performance level. Client-centered, occupation-oriented cognitive therapy interventions prepared according to occupational therapy theories and models might be useful to increase the occupational performance level of children with medulloblastoma.

“…Combined or multimodal exercise interventions that include a motor component (movement speed, balance, motor coordination and flexibility) have also been shown to improve cognitive function in older adults (VoelckerRehage et al 2010). Although questions still remain as to the optimal type and dose of exercise that is most effective to improve cognitive function in older adults, a meta-analysis of single or bimodal exercise trials indicated a small-to-moderate effect on cognitive performance with combined aerobic and PRT compared to aerobic training alone in older adults (Colcombe & Kramer 2003 Kulkarni & Moningi (2015) and McGinty et al (2014).

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is an effective and widely prescribed treatment for prostate cancer (PCa), but it is associated with multiple treatment-induced adverse effects that impact on various musculoskeletal and cardiometabolic health outcomes. Emerging research has shown that ADT is also associated with cognitive impairment, which has been linked to a loss of independence, increased falls and fracture risk and greater use of medical services. The aim of this review is to outline the evidence related to the effect of ADT use on cognitive function, and propose a role for exercise training as part of usual care to prevent and/or manage cognitive impairments for PCa survivors on ADT. The following results have been obtained from this study. ADT has been shown to adversely affect specific cognitive domains, particularly verbal memory, visuomotor function, attention and executive function. However, current clinical guidelines do not recommend routine assessment of cognitive function in these men. No studies have examined whether exercise training can preserve or improve cognitive function in these men, but in healthy adults', multimodal exercise training incorporating aerobic training, progressive resistance training (PRT) and challenging motor control exercises have the potential to attenuate cognitive decline. In conclusion, as treatment with ADT for men with PCa has been associated with a decline in cognition, it is recommended that cognitive function be routinely monitored in these men and that regular exercise training be prescribed to preserve (or improve) cognitive function. Assessment of cognition and individualised exercise training should be considered in the usual treatment plan of PCa patients receiving ADT.
