The effects of a computer-based cognitive and physical training program in a healthy and mildly cognitive impaired aging sample

Abstract

This study indicates that LLM is a promising solution for older adults with and without cognitive impairment, maintaining their wellbeing with few professional and technical requirements.

Clinical characteristics, pathophysiology, and management of noncentral nervous system cancer‐related cognitive impairment in adults

“…Therefore, the combination of PA and cognitive training may result in greater cognitive benefit compared with either approach alone. Preliminary human and animal studies provide additional support for this hypothesis …”

“…Preliminary human and animal studies provide additional support for this hypothesis. 190,[207][208][209][210][211][212][213] Regular mental activity is known to be neuroprotective by increasing cognitive reserve. 214 As such, it is theoretically possible that cognitive interventions conducted before and/ or during cancer therapy could help prevent cognitive difficulties.…”

Functional disorganization of small-world brain networks in mild Alzheimer's Disease and amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment: an EEG study using Relative Wavelet Entropy (RWE)

“…All of them went through a neuropsychological assessment which was part of the screening process for the Long Lasting Memories (LLM) project. LLM was a multi-centric, European Commission-funded project that proposed a computerized intervention of cognitive and physical exercise in order to promote independent living of senior participants (www.longlastingmemories.eu) (Bamidis et al, 2011; González-Palau et al, 2014). Screening took place 1–14 days before the participants' enrollment to the training (Frantzidis et al, 2014).…”

Cognitive performance in women with fibromyalgia: A case-control study

“…To date, FMS is a neurosensory disorder of unknown aetiology, recognised as a common disease in countries around the world (Neumann & Buskila, ). The syndrome is estimated to affect 3–6% of the general population, with a high prevalence reported by rheumatologists in both Australia and Spain (González‐Palau et al ., ; Guymer, Maruff & Littlejohn, ). The vast majority of persons affected by FMS are women aged 20–50 (Wolfe, Ross, Anderson, Russel & Hebert, ).…”

“…Furthermore, there is a lack of research on the use of computers as assessment tools for measuring attention, memory or executive functions. The Gradior © program is a scientifically validated computer software program designed by Inras foundation in Spain for the assessment and rehabilitation of individuals with cognitive deficits (González‐Palau et al .). In order to provide occupational therapists with greater information regarding the characteristics and limitations faced by women with FMS (as the population with a higher incidence of the syndrome), and thus tailor their interventions to suit the needs of this population, the Gradior © computer program was selected as the main outcome of this study.…”
