About this trial

This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of neuroscience-based visual laser feedback map tests in individuals with Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome (MCRS). The developed assessment protocol integrates visuospatial processing, reaction time, and upper extremity motor control within a single task. Construct validity will be examined through correlations with reaction time and proprioception measurements, and test-retest reliability will be assessed to determine measurement consistency.

Trial population

Community-dwelling older adults aged 65 years and above diagnosed with Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome will be recruited from the Tazelenme University Coordination Unit in Balıkesir, Turkey. The study population represents individuals at risk of cognitive decline but without diagnosed dementia, enabling the evaluation of early-stage cognitive-motor interaction.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Visual-laser feedback map test performance

Performance parameters including completion time (seconds), reaction time (milliseconds), movement accuracy, and total performance score obtained from the figure-of-eight tracing and directional target tracking tasks.

Time frame
Baseline

Secondary outcomes

1

Reaction time

Reaction time will be assessed using the Light Trainer system. The response time to visual stimuli will be recorded in milliseconds.

Time frame
Baseline
2

Shoulder proprioception

Shoulder joint position sense will be assessed using the joint repositioning test. Absolute error will be recorded in degrees.

Time frame
Baseline
3

Test-retest reliability

Test-retest reliability of the visual-laser feedback map tests will be evaluated using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC).

Time frame
Baseline and 7-day follow-up
4

Measurement error

Measurement error will be calculated using the Standard Error of Measurement (SEM) and Minimal Detectable Change (MDC).

Time frame
Baseline and 7-day follow-up
