| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to develop a protocol using Square-Stepping Exercise (SSE) patterns to detect those with possible mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and 10 different SSE patterns were used to evaluate older adults (aged 65 years or older; n = 170) for possible MCI. After applying the decision tree analysis, a protocol was developed as follows: if an older adult fails to accurately complete the allocated stepping pattern (Pattern 7 for aged 75 years or younger; Pattern 5 for aged 76 years or older), he/she may be considered as possible MCI. Fifty-eight SSE leaders were certificated for outreaching of the protocol.
