Abstract
[Purpose] This study investigated the effects of an occupation-centered cognitive rehabilitation program on the cognitive function, electroencephalogram amplitude, and daily activity performance of patients with mild cognitive impairment living in a local community. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 6 patients (all female; age: 72.5 ± 6.6 years) with mild cognitive impairment. The patients took part in 10 60-minute sessions, over 10 weeks. [Results] The cognitive function scale scores increased, but the increase was not statistically significant. Daily activity performance improved significantly as evidenced by the Instrumental activities of daily living score in Korean Activity Card Sort. Additionally, electroencephalogram SensoriMotorRhythm wave amplitude increased significantly. [Conclusion] The effects of the occupation-centered cognitive rehabilitation program helped increase concentration and daily activity performance.
