Effects of Task-Oriented Station Training on Cognitive Levels and Hand Functions in Geriatric Residents of Nursing Homes

In this study, face-to-face task-oriented station training is provided by trained occupational therapists to elderly nursing home residents. Each session involves structured activities that simulate real-world challenges designed to improve cognitive and hand functions. These include exercises to enhance fine motor skills, hand strength, coordination, and cognitive tasks such as problem-solving and memory exercises.

This intervention utilizes video-conferencing technology to deliver task-oriented training to elderly nursing home residents, focusing on cognitive and hand function improvements.

"Home-Based Task-Oriented Training Intervention Description:~This home-based intervention involves a series of task-oriented activities specifically designed to improve cognitive and hand functions for elderly residents in nursing homes. Participants carry out prescribed activities independently, based on detailed guides provided by occupational therapists. The activities are tailored to stimulate cognitive processes and enhance fine motor skills, including tasks like sorting, assembling, and manipulative exercises that replicate daily challenges. Each participant follows a structured program of daily 45-minute sessions for two weeks, with periodic remote check-ins by therapists to assess progress and adjust the difficulty of tasks as needed. This format allows participants to engage in rehabilitation at their own pace, within the comfort of their own living spaces, fostering greater autonomy and adherence to the intervention."
