Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is involved in executive function, and recent neuroimaging studies indicate that elderly individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) show attenuated functional connectivity between the PFC and various brain regions. Here, we tested the hypothesis that performing a rhythmic physical task accompanied by a cognitive task, such as multitask movement music therapy (MMT) involving repetitive rhythmic movement with a musical instrument (the Naruko clapper), may improve PFC functions and cognitive performance. Thus, in elderly individuals with MCI, we assessed the effects of such MMT intervention on the activation of and blood flow in the frontal lobe and compared it with the effects of a non-rhythmic exercise routine without accompanying music or use of the Naruko clapper (single-task training [STT])

Assessment

Primary outcomes

1.Cognitive function tests
The frontal assessment battery (FAB)
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)
The study was performed over a 14 weeks in July to October 2014. Data were collected on participant characteristics, physical indicators, and FAB score at each of the 3 study venues before and after the intervention. CBF was measured in sessions 1 and 12

Key secondary outcomes

1.Basic attributes
The household situation, main complaint, anamnesis, permission of the medical attendant, medicines taken, family, career, physical strength.
2.Physical indicators
Systolic blood pressure (SBP)
Diastolic blood pressure (DBP)
Body weight (BW)
Body balance
(one-leg standing with eyes open)
Flexibility (sit-and-reach test) Gait (maximum walking speed)
Muscle endurance
(30-Second Chair Stand Test)
Muscle strength
(grip strength in both hands)
Functional mobility
(timed Up & Go test)

Interventions/Control_1

In the MMT intervention group,each MMT session started with a 30min warm-up exercise consisting of about 8 min of light exercise tailored to the BGM. The next 30 min involved exercises to the BGM that aimed to strengthen the leg muscles for fall prevention. This was followed by MMT using the Naruko clapper for 30 min to accompan "Yosakoi Icchorai Ondo", a song familiar to residents of Fukui Prefecture.Other familiar songs, such as the"365 Step March"and the"Hakodatenohito",were also used in the MMT group. The session ended with relaxation exercises as well as deep breathing and massage to accompanying BGM.

Interventions/Control_2

In the STT control group, an instructor guided the participants in the same exercises performed in the MMT group by giving counts only, without accompanying BGM or use of the Naruko clapper
