An interventional study of mPETS(modified-PETS system) in Healthy Elderly and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), sponsored by National Cheng-Kung University Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Taiwan. Open to participants aged 20 Years to 85 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-04.

Previous studies indicated that sensory input can have positive impacts on finger force control in the elderly. Additionally, according to previous reports, apart from pharmacotherapy, nonpharmacologic interventions, such as psychosocial-environmental treatments, are emerging for the behavior and affective symptoms in cognitive impairment . Moreover, enhanced finger force control and coordination lead to better hand dexterity and is believed to eventually improve life independence in the healthy elderly and the elderly with cognitive impairment. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of fine motor training integrated with AR on older adults with cognitive impairment.
3,941 studies on the registry are indexed under Cognitive Dysfunction; 1,117 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 28 is below the median of 64 across 2,859 interventional studies indexed under Cognitive Dysfunction.

Inclusion Criteria:
Subjects will be instructed to execute simulated piano playing tasks with Augmented Reality.
Device: mPETS(modified-PETS system)
Participants receive usual rehabilitation care according to standard clinical practice.
Participants do not receive the study intervention.
The pressing evaluation and training system (PETS) consists of five force transducers, a pad position-adjustable frame, and biofeedback system. Five force transducers are used to collect the applied normal force from five digits.
Force-track testing
Participants will be asked to track the target force and presses task digit to fit the target line until finish.
Time frame: Before and after intervention (8weeks)
Sequential testing( reaction time)
In sequential testing, participants will be asked to follow the pressing guide. The reaction time of sequential movements will be recorded and calculated.
Time frame: Before and after intervention (8 weeks)
Sequential testing( correct ratio )
In sequential testing, participants will be asked to follow the pressing guide. The correct ratio of sequential movements will be recorded and calculated.
Time frame: Before and after intervention (8 weeks)
Plan to share: Undecided
Ran from Dec 2018 to primary completion in Jan 2019, 0 months.
Of 1,443 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Cognitive Dysfunction, half reached primary completion within 27 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 51. This study's 0 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 1,517 studies reached it within 26 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 49.
