Key result
A Perfetti-based exercise program significantly improved functional capacity (mean difference -1.100, p=0.000) and cognitive function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment.
Why the study?
Mild cognitive impairment in older adults lacks timely treatment, leading to significant changes in normal activities of daily living.
Does an exercise program based on the Perfetti Method improve functional capacity and cognitive function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment?
Observational (n=20)
No

Mean Difference: -1.1 (95% CI -1.4–-0.8)

A Perfetti-based exercise program significantly improved cognitive function and activities of daily living in older adults with mild cognitive impairment.
Should not yet change practice in mild cognitive impairment; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Background: Mild cognitive impairment in older adults is gaining more strength as a social problem in recent years, since there has been no timely treatment, which gives way to older adults suffer significant changes in their normal development of activities of daily living. Objective: To implement an exercise program using the Perfetti Method that allows us to improve cognitive processes and therefore help the recovery of the development of activities of daily living of older adults with mild cognitive impairment. Methods: For this project, the Mini Mental teas were used to evaluate cognitive impairment, in addition to the Barthel index, to show the degree of affection in activities of daily living, which were carried out pre and post application of an exercise program based on the Perfetti Method for mild cognitive impairment in older adults. Results: After having analyzed the results, it was evidenced that, with cognitive stimulation, cognitive processes are improved in older adults, which, if a significant improvement is seen in the execution of activities of daily. Conclusions: The application of the exercise program based on the Perfetti method, if it has a positive effect, in the cognitive and physical processes of the elderly.living.

Arias et al. (2024) conducted an observational in Mild cognitive impairment (n=20). Perfetti-based exercise program vs. Pre-intervention baseline was evaluated on Functional capacity (Barthel Index) (MD -1.100, 95% CI -1.400 to -0.800, p=0.000). A Perfetti-based exercise program significantly improved functional capacity (mean difference -1.100, p=0.000) and cognitive function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment.
