What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
The following three-part proposal will explore the impact of applying motor-cognitive incorporated training (MCIT) in individuals with post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) or Moyamoya disease (MMD), and examine the relationship between cognitive and motor impairments and brain activation patterns in these populations.
Part I is a cross-sectional study designed to characterize cognitive and motor performance and their relationship with brain activation patterns in individuals with post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) or Moyamoya disease (MMD), compared to age-matched healthy controls. Thirty participants will be screened for eligibility and recruited for each group (90 participants total). After collecting basic data, all participants will undergo cognitive and motor function tests. Cognitive function tests include tests of global cognition, and executive function. Motor function t
