경도인지장애 노인을 대상으로 8주간 균형운동이 인지기능에 미치는 영향 = Effect of 8-week Balance Exercise on Cognitive Function In the Elderly with Mild Cognitive Impairment

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study attempted to investigate the effect of balanced exercise for 8 weeks on cognitive function in the elderly with mild cognitive impairment. The subjects of the study were the elderly aged 65 or older who used two senior centers located in Y group, and a simple mental state (MMSE-DS) test was conducted to target the elderly with mild cognitive impairment with a score of 18-23 points. The pre- and post-analysis results are as follows: the selected subjects are divided in a random way and participated in the eight-week balanced exercise after measuring the pre-simplified mental state (MMSE-DS) and electroencephalogram (EEG). Equivalence was not assumed in the MMSE-DS indicators, and equivalence was assumed in all areas of Fp1, Fp2, F3, F4, T3, T4, P3, and P4 in the MDF indicators for each brain area. The experimental group showed statistically significant differences in the left and right prefrontal lobes and frontal lobes of MMSE-DS and neurophysiological EEG indicators (Fp1, Fp2, F3, F4). However, the results of the EEG indicators (Fp1, Fp2, F3, F4) of the control group did not show any significant difference before and after. The above findings show that eight weeks of balanced exercise has a significant effect on the improvement of cognitive function in the elderly with mild cognitive impairment. This study has implications for using this study as basic data for the development of these programs as we enter an aging society.
