Cogmed is a computerized cognitive intervention utilizing coaches who receive standardized instruction in analyzing training indices and tailoring feedback to remotely monitor participant's performance. The goal of this study was to examine adherence, satisfaction, and efficacy of Cogmed across coaches. Survivors of pediatric brain tumors and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (N = 68) were randomized to intervention (Cogmed) or waitlist control. The intervention group was matched with one of two coaches. Cognitive assessments were completed before and after intervention, and participants and caregivers in the intervention group completed satisfaction surveys. T-tests showed no differences in adherence across coaches (number of sessions completed p = .38; d = .32). Noninferiority statistics were not consistently equivalent for satisfaction, but equivalence was supported for caregiver perceptions of pragmatic utility and participant perceptions of logistical ease of Cogmed. Equivalence was not consistently suggested for cognitive outcomes, but was supported on measures tapping relevant cognitive domains (attention, working memory, processing speed, academic fluency). This study suggests adherence can be maintained across coaches. While aspects of satisfaction and cognitive outcomes were equivalent, the possible influence of coach-based variables cannot be ruled out. Findings highlight challenges in standardizing the coaching component of multicomponent computerized interventions and the need for ongoing research to establish dessiminability.

Sociability-based fitness approach in Parkinson's disease: Comparison with conventional rehabilitation.

Authors:
Takao Mitsui Yoshiharu Arii Ai Tsukamoto Koichiro Taniguchi Masaru Mabuchi Arisa Shimizu Nichika Sumitomo Yukiko Kuroda Maki

Eur J Neurol 2021 Mar 3. Epub 2021 Mar 3.

Department of Clinical Research, Tokushima National Hospital National Hospital Organization, 1354 Shikiji, Kamojima, Yoshinogawa, Tokushima, 776-0031, Japan.

Background: We assessed the effect of sociability-based fitness approach on parkinsonian disability in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Methods: Eighty patients diagnosed with PD were randomly assigned to either the group-based rehabilitation (GBR) group (n=40) or the individual-based rehabilitation (IBR) group (n=40). The primary outcome was the difference between the two groups in the mean change from baseline to post-training in the total score on the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). Read More

Effects of Exercise Dose and Detraining Duration on Mobility at Late Midlife: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Authors:
Tibor Hortobágyi Dorina Deák Dóra Farkas Eszter Blényesi Katalin Török Urs Granacher József Tollár

Gerontology 2021 Mar 3:1-12. Epub 2021 Mar 3.

Somogy County Móricz Kaposi Teaching Hospital, Kaposvár, Hungary.

Background: Office workers near retirement tend to be sedentary and can be prone to mobility limitations and diseases. We examined the dose effects of exergaming volume and duration of detraining on motor and cognitive function in office workers at late midlife to reduce sedentariness and mobility limitations.

Methods: In an assessor-blinded randomized trial, 160 workers aged 55-65 years performed physically active video games in a nonimmersive form of virtual reality (exergaming) in small, supervised groups for 1 h, 1×, 2×, or 3×/week for 8 weeks followed by detraining for 8 and 16 weeks. Read More

Epigenetics of the Developing and Aging Brain: Mechanisms that Regulate Onset and Outcomes of Brain Reorganization.

Brain development is a life-long process that encompasses several critical periods of transition, during which significant cognitive changes occur. Embryonic development, puberty, and reproductive senescence are all periods of transition that are hypersensitive to environmental factors. Rather than isolated episodes, each transition builds upon the last and is influenced by consequential changes that occur in the transition before it. Read More

Am J Occup Ther 2021 Mar-Apr;75(2):7502205130p1-7502205130p9

Raffaele Ferri, MD, is Scientific Director, Oasi Research Institute-IRCCS, Troina, Italy.

Importance: When in-person rehabilitation is not feasible, interventions delivered in remote telephone-based sessions may be an option.

Objective: To determine whether telephone-based reality orientation therapy (T-ROT) can improve cognition, mood, and neuropsychiatric symptoms among patients with major neurocognitive disorders (NCDs) who are forced to isolate and also whether T-ROT can relieve the burden of distress among their caregivers.

Design: Nonrandomized interventional comparison study. Read More
