Improving Financial Skills in Adults with Parkinsons, Stroke, or Mild Cognitive Impairment Using a Remote Rehabilitation Program

What this Trial Is About

Financial Abilities FA refer to the skills needed to manage money and financial matters independently, aligning with personal values and interests. This research focuses on assessing FA in people with neurological conditions such as Mild Cognitive Impairment, Parkinsons disease, and Stroke. It also explores the cognitive and brain-related factors behind these abilities and aims to develop a telerehabilitation tool to improve financial independence in these groups. Participants are assigned to one of two groups a telerehabilitation group using the FINAGE tablet to perform cognitive training tasks related to financial abilities and underlying cognitive functions, or a conventional treatment group receiving standard cognitive training. Both interventions last for 1 hour per day, 5 days a week, for 4 weeks. The telerehabilitation program includes various modules targeting specific cognitive domains like attention, memory, language, and executive functions. During the study, participants undergo assessments of their financial abilities, cognitive performance, and brain connectivity before and after the 4-week treatment period. Researchers will use neuroimaging and cognitive tests to measure changes and understand how rehabilitation affects the brain and behavior. The study helps evaluate how well the telerehabilitation program supports financial skills and brain function over this timeframe.
