The Effects of Single Baduanjin and Elastic Band Exercises on VSWM in Elderly Individuals With MCI
This trial tests whether a single session of Baduanjin (a traditional Chinese Qigong practice) or elastic band resistance exercise can improve visuospatial working memory in older adults who already have mild cognitive impairment. Researchers will also look at the brain activity behind any changes. This is a Phase NA trial, meaning it is a small exploratory study — not yet testing a proven treatment.
