Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a transition stage between normal aging and dementia can be useful to monitor the cognitive status of people at risk dementias. Our aims were investigate prevalence amnestic non-amnestic MCI in South Italian elderly population, identify socio-demographic, clinical lifestyle factors associated with MCI. A cross-sectional retrospective population study on 839 community-dwelling participants over 60 years age was carried out. Elderly administered brief...
Neurological populations (NP) commonly experience several impairments. Beside motor and sensorial delays, communication intellectual disabilities are included. The COVID-19 pandemic has suddenly exacerbated their clinical conditions due to lockdown, quarantine, social distancing preventive measures. Healthcare services unavailability negatively impacted NP conditions, partially mitigated by vaccine diffusion. One way overcome this issue is the use of technology-aided interventions for both...
Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common form of dementia, is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that predominantly affects elderly population. Traditional assessment methods, including neuropsychological tests like MMSE, have been cornerstone AD diagnosis for decades. These methods are grounded in wealth research and clinical experience, providing robust framework understanding cognitive deficits AD. The evolution rehabilitation has recently tackled with introduction...
