Abstract

This study examined the effects of a dual-task virtual reality program on the cognitive function and EEG for patients with mild cognitive impairment. A dual-task virtual reality program was performed in the experimental groups while conventional occupational therapy was carried out in the control group for 30 minutes per session, which was done five days per week for 6 weeks. The results were as follows. First, the memory of the cognitive function and balance was improved significantly in the experimental group with the dual-task virtual reality program compared to the control group with the traditional occupational therapy. Second, EEG was also increased significantly in the experimental group compared to the control group. The results of this study suggest that the dual-task virtual reality program was an effective treatment method for the elderly with mild cognitive impairment and would be a cornerstone of basic data that will be helpful to those suffering from a range of diseases.

본 연구는 이중과제 병합 가상현실 프로그램을 경도인지장애 노인에게 적용하여 인지기능, 균형과 뇌파에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 이중과제 병합 가상현실 프로그램을 중재한 실험군 집단과 전통적인 작업치료를 중재한 대조군 집단은 1회 30분, 1주일 5회, 총 6주에 걸쳐 실시하였다. 연구 결과는 첫째, 이중과제 병합 가상현실 프로그램을 시행한 실험군이 전통적인 작업치료를 시행한 대조군에 비해 인지기능 중 기억력 항목과 균형 항목에서 유의하게 증가하였다. 둘째, 이중과제 병합 가상현실 프로그램을 시행한 실험군이 전통적인 작업치료를 시행한 대조군에 비해 ${\beta}$파와 SMR파의 세기가 유의하게 증가하였다. 결과를 종합해보면, 이중과제 병합 가상현실 프로그램이 경도인지장애 노인에게 효과적인 치료방법이었고, 다양한 질환을 겪고 있는 대상자들에게 도움이 되는 기초 자료의 초석이 되기를 바란다.
