Study Details

Problems with walking and balance are common in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. Walking and balance problems limit independence and increase risk for injuries due to falls. The purpose of this research study is to test the effectiveness of training that combines moving and thinking tasks, referred to as Personalized cognitive integrated sensorimotor virtual reality (VR)/mixed reality (MR) training on walking and balance ability. The study will also help to understand the changes in thinking ability and brain activity as a result of this training in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. The study will evaluate the differences between two intervention groups (n=20 each): 1) personalized cognitive integrated sensorimotor VR/MR training (CM), and 3) standard of care (CTRL) on gait, balance, community ambulation, and cognitive functions, as well as underlying biomechanical and neurophysiological mechanisms to understand the changes due to CM.
