The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of computerized cognitive therapy on cognitive function and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living for elderly people with mild cognitive impairment living in the community. 22 MCI elderly people were randomly assigned to 11 experimental group and 11 control group. For a total of 10 weeks, 3 times a week, 30 minutes per session, the experimental group received CoTras and the control group received traditional cognitive rehabilitation. Neurobehavioral Cognitive Status Examination(NCSE) and Korean Instrumental Activities of Daily Living(K-IADL) were used to investigate the changes in cognitive function and performance of instrumental activities of daily living before and after the intervention. As a result of the study, the experimental group showed improvement in overall cognitive function, including attention and memory, and performance in IADL. The use of CoTras may be considered to improve cognitive function and performance of instrumental activities of daily living for the elderly with mild cognitive impairment in the community.

This study aimed to compare changes in cognitive function, depression and ability to perform activity of daily living (ADL) in patients with dementia, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and ischemic stroke (IS) and to identify factors associated with changes in instrumental ADL. A total of 86 patients (dementia=30, MCI=32, and IS=24) were included to analyse cognitive function, depression, and basic and instrumental ADL obtained at the time of diagnosis and 1 year after baseline. Repeated measures analysis of variance and multiple linear regression were used. A significant group by time interaction was found in executive function (p=.037) and instrumental ADL (p=.023) across groups. The MCI group has little change in executive function and instrumental ADL from the baseline to 1 year after diagnosis while other two groups showed changes with the dementia group showing declines and the group of IS having improvement in these factors over time. Changes in executive function(p=.030) and basic ADL (p<.001) explained 26.9% in the variance of changes in instrumental ADL. These findings showed a different changing pattern in executive function during the first year after diagnosis of dementia, MCI, and IS which have cognitive changes as their main symptoms, probably leading to a different changing pattern in instrumental ADL. Healthcare professionals should routinely assess for executive function and instrumental ADL problems and intervene to maintain and improve these functional outcomes immediately after disease.

This study was conducted to construct and test a structural equation model of instrumental activities of daily living(IADL) in community-dwelling elderly. The model was based on ICF(International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health) model. The participants were 260 elderly who were more than 65 years old. Physical and psychological function, visual-motor integration and social activities had direct effects on IADL. That is, the better the subjective health status, the lower the depression and the less chronic illness, the better IADL. Personal factor, social support and social activities had indirect effect on IADL. This model explained 32% of the variance in IADL.

Objective : This study is conducted to find the influence on upper extremity function, cognitive function and activities of daily living when stroke patients receive task-oriented training in group or individually. Methods : Twenty-six inpatients are assigned to two groups(task training group and individual training group) randomly, who receive rehabilitation therapy after stroke diagnosis for 5 months(june to november, 2012) in a hospital. Both groups receive a task-oriented training for 30 minutes a day for 3 weeks. FMA were used to measure upper extremity function, K-MMSE were used to measure cognition, and MBI for ADL. Results : Before training. two groups were not different significantly in upper extremity function and cognitive function. But in activities of daily living, bathing self(p<.001), feeding, personal hygiene and total score(p<.05) are higher in group training group. After training, upper extremity function is higher in individual training group(p<.001). In both training group, upper extremity function, feeding, personal hygiene, bathing self, dressing, toilet, chair/bed transfers, ambulation and stair climbing, total score are improved significantly(p<.05). In comparing of variation before and after training, upper extremity function(p<.001), feeding and total score of activities of daily living are more improved significantly in individual training group(p<.05). Conclusion : The outcome shows that task-oriented training can improve upper extremity function and activities of daily living in both training group. Especially, the more upper extremity function is improved, the more activities of daily living is improved. In the future, it will be necessary longitudinal study for a long time for more patients.

This research analyzed the cognitive factors affecting stroke patient's activity of daily living performance and suggests the approaches which can contribute to the effective activity of daily living performance in the rehabilitation treatment of stroke patients. In this study, Seoul Computerized NeuroCognitive Function Test (SCNT) and MBI have been performed for 21 patients under extensive rehabilitation treatments, hospitalized in the rehabilitation clinic of A hospital after being diagnosed as a stroke caused by cerebrovascular disorders. To assess the effectiveness of the cognitive factors which affect the stroke patient's activity of daily living performance, activity of daily living performance values were set as dependent variables and 10 cognitive factors were included in the model to carry out analysis of the multiple regression analysis. The results show that stroke patient's activity of daily living performance have statistically significant correlations with divided attention, motor control and selectivir attention. In addition, cognitive factors explained 69.8% of the stroke patient's activity of daily living performance. Consequently, if divided attention and motor control are considered as a focal point of training in the rehabilitation treatment of stroke patients, we can effectively promote the improvement of the activity of daily living performanceroutine activities.

The aim of this study was to identify stress, motivation for a the healthy lifestyle and IADL of the elderly with arthritis. This study examined 117 elderly person over the age of 65 years living in S city. The data were analyzed using an independent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression with the SPSS Win 12.0 Program. Significant negative correlations were observed between stress and IADL, significant positive correlations between motivation on healthy lifestyle and IADL. The predictors on IADL were the physical area of stress (${\beta}=-0.354$, p<.001) and self-efficacy of motivation on healthy lifestyle (${\beta}=0.250$, p<.001). The model explained 18.5% of the variance. More study will be needed to explore a range of factors influencing the IADL and develop education programs for effective healthy lifestyle of elderly people with arthritis.

노인들은 연령에 따라 기억력의 저하가 일어나면서 일상생활을 영유하는데 많은 불편함을 겪고 있다. 정해진 시간에 약을 복용하는 것을 기억하거나 가스 불에 물을 끊인 후 끄는 것을 기억하는 것 등 의도한 행위를 실제로 수행하거나, 진행 중인 행위와 미래에 수행하여야 할 행위 등을 기억 (미래기억; prospective memory) 해야 하는 데 부담을 갖는다. 특히 노인은 시간-의존 미래기억(time-based PM)에서 다른 미래기억보다 연령에 따른 낮은 기억 수행을 보였다. (Einstein & McDaniel, 1995) 본 논문은 인터뷰와 설문을 통해 노인의 일상생활의 패턴을 파악하고, 일상생활과 비슷한 상황에서 노인의 시간-의존 미래기억(time-based prospective memory)과 노인의 자율성(autonomy)을 높이기 위한 몇 가지 UI 방식을 알아보고자 하였다. 실험 결과, 노인 실험 참가자는 사건의존 미래기억에서 의도와 연합된 '맥락 단서'를 제시하는 방식을 더 선호하였으며, 시간의존 미래기억 실험에서는 대학생 집단보다 미래기억 수행 시 외부 도구에 대한 강한 의존도를 보였다. 이는 적절한 미래기억 보조도구가 제시된다면 더 높은 수행을 보일 수 있음을 확인하였다.
