Cognitive rehabilitation as a tool in the fight against Alzheimer's disease from the point of view of assisting professions

Original language description

This paper focuses on people with dementia (in this case a mild stage of Alzheimer&apos;s disease) with a focus on cognitive rehabilitation. The disease usually affects persons over 65 years of age. In year 2006, the number of people with Alzheimer&apos;s disease in the Czech Republic was 6,545 people. In year 2010, this number increased to 7 981 people with Alzheimer&apos;s disease and this trend is further increasing. The research includes testing of 10 probands (100 % of women aged 65 to 70 years) which were divided by an intentional selection into two groups: experimental (active participation on further special-pedagogical and occupational therapy, also known as work therapy intervention) and control group (passive participation during intervention). The testing 42 Fakulta zdravotnických studií, Univerzita Jana Evangelisty Purkyně v Ústí nad Labem, Česká republika, Velká Hradební 13, 400 96 140 was initiated by entrance examinations with the use of standardized Montreal cognitive test. The same test was then used after the intervention within a framework of output testing and the collected data were then compared with each other. The following results than pointed to the fact, that regular intervention for seniors suffering from Alzheimer&apos;s with the use of modern technologies (in this particular case game consoles connected with the Kinect(C) system sensors) and classic &quot;paper and pencil&quot; tests had certain amount of influence on the results of the experimental group, which achieved slightly better results than passive control group which stagnated, or got worse compared with the results at the beginning.
