Date Presented 05/04/19 Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a syndrome defined as an intermediate stage between cognitively intact and clinically diagnosed dementia; the age-adjusted prevalence of MCI in Taiwan is approximately 18%. Combination of cognitive training and exercise has been found to be effective for improving cognitive functions. However, it is still unclear which combination method could induce better training effects. This study provides and discusses emerging work from Taiwan's experience.

Date Presented 04/04/19 The purpose of the study is to identify which health outcomes are predictors of self-efficacy in community-dwelling stroke survivors. Results indicated that by focusing on improving stroke-specific quality of life as well as the level of engagement in extended activities of daily living, OTs can improve the self-efficacy of stroke clients. This understanding can guide OTs to implement more meaningful and effective interventions for stroke survivors.
