“…Falls among patients with MCI have been associated with increased postural sway during ecological activities of daily living, including sitting, standing, and walking [ 2 ]. Recent evidence suggests that altered dynamic balance performance was observed in 15.1% and 18.2% of older adults with MCI or mild or moderate dementia at a high risk of falls using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test ([ 3 ] and Berg Balance Scale (BBS), respectively [ 4 ], when performed with no or minimal contextual interference or in a laboratory or controlled closed environment. In contrast, abnormal dynamic balance performance was noted during TUG [ 5 ] and BBS [ 6 ] testing in 36.3% and 21.3% of older adults with MCI or mild or moderate dementia, respectively, when performed in a substantially compromised or ecological community environment with higher contextual interference (e.g., dual cognitive motor tasks, divided attention tasks) [ 7 , 8 ].…”

While falls among patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have been closely associated with an increased postural sway during ecological activities of daily living, there is a dearth of postural sway detection (PSD) research in ecological environments. The present study aimed to investigate the fall sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of our PSD system. Forty healthy young and older adults with MCI at a high risk of falls underwent the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy tests for PSD by simultaneously recording the Berg Balance Scale and Timed Up and Go in ecological environments, and the data were analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic curve and area under the curve. The fall prediction sensitivity ranged from 0.82 to 0.99, specificity ranged from 0.69 to 0.90, and accuracy ranged from 0.53 to 0.81. The PSD system’s fall prediction sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy data suggest a reasonable discriminative capacity for distinguishing between fallers and non-fallers as well as predicting falls in older adults with MCI in ecological testing environments.

“…The growing number of older individuals will lead to an increase in the incidence of age-related disorders such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A significant risk factor for alterations in motor function and body balance is cognitive impairment [4]. It is the intermediate state between normal cognition and dementia and is characterized by confusion, disorientation, memory complaints, as well as restricted attention, learning, and language abilities.…”

Background Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a common condition in the elderly population. It is characterized by confusion, disorientation, memory complaints, as well as restricted attention, learning, and language abilities. Objectives The objective of this study was to compare the effect of internal and external cognitive training in patients with mild cognitive impairment. Methods Twenty-six patients with mild cognitive impairment participated in this study. An equal number of participants (n=13) were allocated into two groups, i.e., the internal cognitive training group (group A) and external cognitive training (group B). Cognitive training session was administered 40 min per day, at a frequency of 2 sessions per week, for a period of 4 weeks for both groups, and aerobic exercise was also performed for 15 min per day, for a period of 4 weeks. Outcome measures were undertaken at baseline and at the end of the 4th week. Results The result shows a significant improvement on MoCA components in the internal cognitive training group than the external cognitive training group (P<0.05). Conclusion It was concluded that the internal cognitive training (ICT) shows significant improvement on mild cognitive impairment in elderly as compared to external cognitive training (ECT).
