The use of Immersive Virtual Reality would be effective against Mild Cognitive Disorders

The increase in cases of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) highlights the urgent need to find effective methods of slowing its progression. Given the limited effectiveness of current pharmacological options in preventing or treating the early stages of MCI, non-pharmacological alternatives are of particular importance.  

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a cognitive-motor intervention based on immersive virtual reality (VR) that simulates an activity of daily living (ADL) on cognitive function and its impact on depression as well as the ability to perform such activities in patients with MCI.
