Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of LOTCA-G and ADL by individualized cognitive program in elderly with vascular dementia, alzheimer dementia and mild cognitive impairment. Method : The subjects of this study, old man and woman diagnosed with vascular dementia, alzheimer dementia and mild cognitive impairment, 24 patients were picked up, who were agreed with this research and were having hospital care for 3weeks at nursing care centers. Individualized cognitive program was applied to 8 patients of vascular dementia, 8 patients of alzheimer dementia and 8 patients of mild cognitive impairment. Cognitive function measured by LOTCA-G and performance measured by FIM. The SPSS Ver. 22.0 statistical program was used for data processing. The significance level for statistical inspection was set as 0.05. Result : In comparison of LOTCA-G was significant increased after intervention and among three groups were significant difference. But FIM was no significant difference after intervention and among three groups were no significant difference. Conclusion : Therefore, the individualized cognitive program is useful to improve the cognitive function in elderly with dementia and mild cognitive impairment.

본 연구는 지역사회 노인을 대상으로 국내에서 사용되는 인지기능 검사인 LOTCA-G 및 MMSE-K와 MoCA-K와의 상관관계를 통해 경도인지장애를 탐지하는 데 사용되는 MoCA-K의 유용성을 알아보고자 하였다. 50명을 대상으로 한 각 평가도구들의 인지기능 점수는 MoCA-K가 30점 만점 중 $22.72{\pm}5.85$, LOTCA-G는 104점 만점 중에 $96.28{\pm}6.82$, MMSE-K는 30점 만점 중 $25.08{\pm}3.78$점이었다. 대상자들의 일반적 특성에 따른 각 평가도구들의 점수를 알아본 결과, 세 개의 평가도구 모두 남녀 간에는 유의한 차이가 없었으며, 연령과 교육수준에 따라서는 유의한 차이를 보였다. 노인들의 치매 선별검사로 널리 사용되고 있는 신뢰성과 타당성이 확보된 MMSE-K 및 LOTCA-G의 수행점수와 MoCA-K 수행점수 간에 높은 상관관계가 나타났으므로 MoCA-K는 노인들의 인지기능을 평가하는 데 있어 타당한 인지검사도구라는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects and find the correlation of LOTCA-G and SS-QOL on the cognitive function and quality of life of elderly stroke patients. The time period of the experiment was from March 1, 2018 to March 30, 2018, and the study sample was composed of 102 stroke out-patients who participated in the rehabilitation center in G-city and received treatment of LOTCA-G and SS-QOL. The raw scores of the cognitive function of the elderly stroke patients varied depending on their gender, age, education, and marital status, but the differences were not statistically significant. Second, the raw scores of the quality of life of the elderly stroke patients varied depending on their gender, age, education, and marital status, but only marital status showed significance (p <0.01). The elderly stroke patients' cognitive function and the quality of life showed a statistically significant correlation (p <0.01). LOTCA-G and SS-QOL generally showed significant correlation even among sub-categories, but energy, one of the sub-categories of quality of life, did not show significant correlation with any of the other sub-categories of cognitive function. By combining the study results, it was possible to see that there were high levels of correlation between cognitive function and quality of life in elderly stroke patients shown through LOTCA-G and SS-QOL. Based on this study, if the raw scores of cognitive function and quality of life could be validated and various basic data could be provided for increasing quality of life, it can be considered that the stroke patients' quality of life will be improved.

본 연구는 경도와 중등도 치매 환자의 인지 기능과 작업 참여 능력을 알아보고, 인지 기능과 작업 참여의 상관관계를 알아보고자 시행하였다. 2017년 9월부터 2017년 11월까지 대구광역시 지역의 주간보호센터를 방문하는 95명의 치매 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 인지 기능을 측정하기 위하여 한국판 간이정신상태 판별검사(MMSE-K)와 한국판 로웬스타인 작업치료 인지 평가-노인용(Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment Geriatric population: (LOTCA-G)을 사용, 작업 참여를 측정하기 위하여 인간작업모델 선별 평가도구(MOHOST)를 사용하였다. 본 연구 결과는 SPSS 20.0 통계처리 프로그램의 기술 통계를 이용하여 연구 대상자의 인지 기능과 작업 참여 정도를 분석하였고, 인지 기능과 작업 참여 간 상관관계 분석을 위해 피어슨 상관분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과 치매 환자의 인지 기능과 작업 참여 간 상관관계를 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 치매 환자의 평가 및 치료적 목표 수립 시 인지 기능과 관련한 작업 참여도 고려해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

PURPOSE: This study investigated the effect of a head-mounted display (HMD) based virtual reality (VR) cognitive rehabilitation program on the cognitive ability and activities of daily living in patients with mild cognitive impairment. METHODS: This study enrolled 5 mild cognitive impairment patients at the G welfare center in Gwangju metropolitan city. Patients were examined using the MMSEDS (Mini mental state examination-dementia screening). The VR cognitive rehabilitation program was applied twice a week for four weeks. The functional independence measure (FIM) and Loewenstein occupational therapy cognitive assessment-geriatric population (LOTCA-G) were compared before and after applying the VR cognitive rehabilitation program. RESULTS: Subsequent of application of the VR cognitive rehabilitation program, significant increase was observed in the LOTCA-G score. The FIM score was also perceived to increase, after the intervention, but was not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: Application of the VR cognitive rehabilitation program as a therapy is effective in improving the visual perception, and upper extremity executive ability, especially orientation, thinking organization, attention, and concentration.

Purpose : The study was aimed to evaluate the improvement of cognitive and hand functions after the application of a complex rehabilitation intervention program on patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia who were living a regional community from. Methods : Subjects who were living in a regional sanatorium or who were outpatients of a community health center were enrolled from 2012. 2 to 2013.2 All subjects were enforced 8 cycles of a complex rehabilitation intervention program including RON dance, physical activity using therabands, reality awareness training, space retrieval training and handicraft activities. Results : There were significant improvement in LOTCA-G cognitive function and JTHFT hand function test after the application of a complex rehabilitation intervention program. Conclusion : The result shows a significant improvement in cognitive and hand functions after the application of a complex rehabilitation intervention program in patients with MCI and dementia. Therefore the authors suggest the vast studies of the cognitive function program development and hand function vitalization by the application of a complex rehabilitation intervention program.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of multimodal intervention through VR (virtual reality)-based immersion program on the cognitive function and brain activity of patients with mild cognitive impairment. METHODS: The subjects of the study were 10 people in the experimental group who applied a complex intervention that performed cognitive tasks using the movement of the upper extremities through the VR program, and 10 people in the control group who received traditional occupational therapy. After the study intervention was applied 5 times a week, 30 minutes a day for a total of 8 weeks, LOTCA-G(Lowenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment for Geriatric Population) and NIRSIT LITE were used to compare. RESULTS: Significant differences in cognitive function and brain activity were noted between the pre- test and post-test in the experimental group. Brain activity showed statistically significant differences in four channels of the working memory domain and one channel of the metacognitive domain (p < . 05). Comparative analysis of the difference between the two groups revealed statistically significant differences in cognitive function and brain activity. The brain activity showed statistically significant differences in three channels of the working memory domain and one channel of the metacognitive domain (p < .05). CONCLUSION: Through the results of this study, it was found that the complex intervention of performing cognitive tasks using upper extremity movements through the VR program had a positive effect on the cognitive function of patients with mild cognitive.
