Spatial Navigation for the Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease.
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and may contribute to 60-70 % of all cases. An early, accurate diagnosis of AD will become increasingly important with disease-modifying therapies. Different types of fluid and neuroimaging biomarkers are available for the early detection of AD. However, implementation of …
A Study of Dual-task Exercise Training to Prevent Falls Among Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment
To determine the efficacy of a dual-task tai ji quan training therapy in reducing the incidence of falls in older adults with mild cognitive impairment.
Clean Hands Accessible and Manageable for Patients (CHAMPs)
This study proposes the novel use of a bedrail-affixed technology-based patient hand hygiene system with verbal and visual reminders to improve hospitalized older adults' self-management of hand hygiene practice, which in return reduces harmful germs found on older adult's hands that lead to infections.
Swallowing Difficulties in People Over 60 Years: Prevalence, Degree of Difficulty and Intervention
Participants included in SCAPIS2 (Swedish Cardio Pulmonary bioimage study) are screened regarding swallowing difficulty using a timed water swallow test. Participants who show signs of swallowing difficulty (dysphagia) are included in the present study, which encompasses s flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing function (FEES). Participants showing a moderate-severe dysphagia are …
Pain and Split-belt Motor Learning in Older Adults
The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of acute pain, induced using an experimental pain paradigm of capsaicin paired with heat, on implicit locomotor learning and its retention in older adults.
Precision Vibration Therapy for Neuromuscular and Functional Improvement in Older Adults and Stroke Survivors
To address muscle weakness, sensory degradation, functional decline, and pain caused by geriatric syndromes in older adults and stroke survivors, this project proposes a series of studies aimed at improving neuromuscular performance, muscle strength, proprioceptive gain, functional outcomes, and pain relief through the use of a precise vibration system. In …
Leveraging Social Networks to Improve Sleep and Mindfulness Among Older Adults in Residential Housing Facilities
The aim of this study is to design a sleep and mindfulness intervention to improve sleep, quality of life, and cognitive function among older adults.
Language and Lewy Body Diseases: Sentence Comprehension Problems and Modifying Noninvasive Brain Stimulation Treatment
Lewy body diseases (LBDs) represents a group of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the abnormal accumulation of aggregates of α-synuclein protein leading to the formation of Lewy bodies (LB) and Lewy neurites resulting in cell death. LBDs consists of two major clinical entities - Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with LB …
Neural Mechanisms of Cognitive Assessment and Rehabilitation for Cognitive Decline
This study investigates the neural mechanisms of cognitive function decline, cognitive assessment methods for subjects with mild cognitive dysfunction (Mild cognitive impairment, MCI, or cognitive decline milder than MCI), and the approaches used to improve and restore cognitive function.
