Summary
This study tests whether different hand exercises—using both hands, just fingers, or virtual reality games—can improve thinking and memory in people with mild cognitive impairment. 106 adults aged 50-75 will do 40-minute sessions three times a week for 8 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in cognitive tests like the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.
