Abstract
Objective: To determine the effects of exergames by using Xbox 360 Kinect on cognition in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Methodology: This randomized control trial included 56 MCI older adults who were randomly divided into experimental group (n=28) and control group (n=28), using coin and toss method. The experimental group performed X-box 360 Kinect games while the control group received stretching and strength training exercises of upper and lower extremity. The intervention was of 30 min per day/5 days per week for six weeks. Mini-mental state examination, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Trail making Test A and B, Verbal fluency (Semantic/ Phenomic) were used as outcome measures at baseline and after six weeks of intervention. Data were analyzed by SPSS 26.
Results: Final analysis included 51 subjects, out of which 26 were in experimental group with mean age 62.85±5.56 yrs.,16 (61.5%) males and 10 (38.5%) females. In control, there were 25 subjects with mean age 63.24±5.12 yrs., 15 (60.0%) males and 10 (40.0%) females. Inter-group analysis showed significant improvement in outcomes measures after six weeks of intervention in experimental group (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Exergames showed positive effects on cognitive domains in older adults with MCI.

Key words: Cognitive training, mild cognitive impairment, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Trail making test A & B, Exergaming.
