Effectiveness of a Program Based on Action-Observation Training (AOT) on Motor, Functional and Cognitive Aspects in Patients with Cognitive Impairment: A Non-Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstract
:Highlight
- The AOT facilitates motor learning in patients with cognitive impairment.
- Intervention with AOT in patients with cognitive impairment may be effective in improving functionality of their dominant upper limb and independence in basic activities of daily living.
- AOT could be an effective therapeutic tool in the approach to older adults with cognitive imparirment.
- Group therapy itself may be a determining factor in the therapeutic approach for patients with cognitive impairment.
