A Pilot Study for Efficacy of Cognitive and Physical Training in Patients With Mild Cognitive Impairment

Korean-Mini Mental Status Examination (K-MMSE)

K-MMSE is a measurement of cognitive level. Any score of 24 or more (out of 30) indicates a normal cognition. Below this, scores can indicate severe(≤9 points), moderate (10-18 points) or mild (19-23 points) cognitive impairment. The raw score may also need to be corrected for educational attainment and age.

Time frame: Baseline - 6 weeks - 3months

Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR)

CDR is a rating scale for staging patients diagnosed with dementia. The CDR evaluates cognitive, behavioral and functional aspects of Alzheimer disease and other dementias. It is calculated on the basis of testing six different cognitive and behavioral domains such as memory, orientation, judgment and problem solving, community affairs, home and hobbies performance, and personal care. The CDR is based on a scale of 0-3: no dementia (CDR = 0), questionable dementia (CDR = 0.5), MCI (CDR = 1), moderate cognitive impairment (CDR = 2) and severe cognitive impairment (CDR = 3)

Time frame: Baseline - 3months

Clinical Global Impressions of Change (CGIC)

CGIC is a commonly used measure to measure the severity, treatment rate, and treatment effectiveness of symptoms in the treatment process or research of patients with mental illness.

Time frame: Baseline - 6 weeks- 3months

Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (I-ADL)

I-ADL consists of skills and behaviors necessary for social life such as "money management," "households," "phone use," and "drugs," and helps evaluate the degree of social and professional functioning of the elderly with dementia.
