Evaluation of education intervention in the elderly with respect to the state of cognitive functions in the Ústí region

Original language description

The results presented here were gained based on the internal grant competition (UJEP-IGS-2018-72-001-1) provided by the University of Jana Evangelisty Purkyně in Ústí nad Labem focusing on The Evaluation of Ergotherapeutic Intervention with a Focus on Geriatric Clientele in Ústí nad Labem which was realised in 2018. In this project we cooperated with 60 probands that were diagnosed with a medium form of Alzheimer&apos;s diasese. The number of persons with Alzheimer&apos;s disease is constantly increasing. In 2014 was the number of people with this diagnosis on territory of the Czech Republic over 153 000, while for 2020 is an estimate over 183 000, so the statistical data confirm a well-known fact that the number of these people will increase constantly which is given also by the overall aging of the population. At people suffering from the Alzheimer&apos;s disease occurs the gradual deterioration of cognitive functions with a following amnesia and a disorientation by place, time and person. The aim of our intervention was to secure educational procedures which would help seniors to fight with this problematics. We focused on input, control and output testing within education with a help of standardized test Bristol activity scale. We used classical rehabilitation approaches for the educational intervention using modern technologies, in this case virtual reality which freely available commercial product Playstation offers us. Thus virtual reality has become a very helpful assistant for cognitive rehabilitation to us. Special educational procedures were focused not only on the development of cognitive functions but also on the development of rough and fine motoring where we used a number of training sheets that support the pencil - paper form of work. We used a smaller size of the work sheets for the development of fine motoring and a larger size for the development of rough motoring. It means there were engaged not only the tiny joints of the hand but also the bigger joints such as a shoulder joint. The total probands&apos;s movement was provided by fitness trainings which were completed by elements of cognitive rehabilitation
