Virtual Reality Interventions for Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Alzheimer disease is incurable, but it is possible to intervene and slow down the progression of dementia during periods of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) through virtual reality (VR) technology.

This study aimed to analyze the effects of VR interventions on older adults with MCI. The examined outcomes include cognitive abilities, mood, quality of life, and physical fitness, including general cognitive function, memory performance, attention and information processing speed, executive function, language proficiency, visuospatial abilities, depression, daily mobility of individuals, muscle performance, and gait and balance.
