First, we verified the factors that improve the ability to control posture as explanatory factors for improvement in cognitive task performance, which is reported as one effect of dohsa-hou. Subsequently, we examined the psychological effects of dohsa-hou for the elderly with dementia. As a result, in the former, improvement of the upright balance and cognitive task performance due to dohsa-hou was observed. It was presumed impact of information processing resources that were devoted much to upright balance is distributed to the cognitive task processing. In the latter study, improvement in behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia, such as circadian rhythm disorders by continued intervention by dohsa-hou was observed. Simultaneously, effective task of dohsa-hou was suggested to be different by the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia.
