Testing Visual Laser Feedback Maps for Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome in Older Adults Assessing Validity and Reliability of Neuroscience-Based Measures

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the validity and reliability of neuroscience-based visual laser feedback map tests in older adults diagnosed with Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome MCRS. This study focuses on integrating visuospatial processing, reaction time, and upper body motor control in a single task to better understand cognitive and motor interactions in this population. Construct validity will be examined by comparing test results with reaction time and proprioception measurements, while test-retest reliability will assess measurement consistency over time. Participants aged 65 years and older with MCRS will undergo these visual laser feedback map tests along with reaction time and shoulder proprioception assessments under standardized conditions. There is no therapeutic intervention involved the study purely observes and measures performance using the neuroscience-based tests. Follow-up assessments will be done after 7 days to evaluate test reliability and measurement error. During the study, participants will complete the visual-laser feedback map tests and related assessments at baseline and again after 7 days to measure consistency. Researchers will track reaction time, proprioception, and test performance to evaluate the tests accuracy and reliability. The main outcome measured is performance on the visual-laser feedback map test, with additional monitoring of reaction time, proprioception, and measurement error. The total participation involves an initial assessment and a follow-up within one week.
