Laser-Based Map Tests in Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome

This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of neuroscience-based visual laser feedback map tests in individuals with Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome (MCRS). The developed assessment protocol integrates visuospatial processing, reaction time, and upper extremity motor control within a single task. Construct validity will be examined through correlations with reaction time and proprioception measurements, and test-retest reliability will be assessed to determine measurement consistency.

Inclusion criteria

Aged ≥65 years Diagnosis of Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome (subjective cognitive complaint + slow gait) Living independently in the community Able to understand and perform test procedures

Diagnosed dementia Severe psychiatric disorders Advanced visual impairments (e.g., macular degeneration, severe cataract) Neurological disorders affecting motor control Severe tremor or ataxia interfering with task performance

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Visual-laser feedback map test performance

    Time frame: Baseline

    Performance parameters including completion time (seconds), reaction time (milliseconds), movement accuracy, and total performance score obtained from the figure-of-eight tracing and directional target tracking tasks.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Reaction time

    Time frame: Baseline

    Reaction time will be assessed using the Light Trainer system. The response time to visual stimuli will be recorded in milliseconds.

  2. Shoulder proprioception

    Time frame: Baseline

    Shoulder joint position sense will be assessed using the joint repositioning test. Absolute error will be recorded in degrees.

  3. Test-retest reliability

    Time frame: Baseline and 7-day follow-up

    Test-retest reliability of the visual-laser feedback map tests will be evaluated using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC).

  4. Measurement error

    Time frame: Baseline and 7-day follow-up

    Measurement error will be calculated using the Standard Error of Measurement (SEM) and Minimal Detectable Change (MDC).
