Preliminary Efficacy of Face-to-Face, Telerehabilitation, and Home Program–Based Task-Oriented Circuit Training on the Cognitive and Motor Functions of Older Adults: A Single-Blind Randomized Feasibility Study
Randomized feasibility study assessed cognitive and motor improvements in older adults, indicating effective treatment modalities.
Key Points
Task-oriented circuit training significantly improved cognitive functions in older adults through various methods.
Face-to-face training resulted in the largest cognitive improvement (MMSE: d = 1.52), showcasing its effectiveness.
Observational study conducted at a skilled nursing facility in Turkey examined multiple training approaches for older adults.
Findings highlight the potential of telerehabilitation to enhance quality of life for older adults, while home-based methods showed limited effectiveness.
