Financial Abilities in Neurological Diseases. Development of a Telerehabilitation Program: FINAGE

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Financial Abilities (FA) are a set of capacities that allow a person to independently manage her/his financial affairs in a manner consistent with personal self-interests and values. This project will: a) assess Financial Abilities in different neurological conditions: Mild Cognitive Impairment, Parkinson's disease and Stroke patients; b) investigate both cognitive correlations, specifically the role of executive functions, thought to be critically involved in the FA multi-dimensional concept, and neuro-anatomical correlates of Financial Abilities; c) build a rehabilitation tool in order to improve FA. Secondary aims are to apply this rehabilitation tool at long distance and evaluate its behavioral, functional and neuroanatomical effects. The starting point for this project is the recently published NADL-F - Numerical Activities of Daily Living - Financial, a multi-domain ecological battery aimed at assessing FA in healthy people as well as in neurological patient populations

Time Frame
Start Date: 2021-03-11
Estimated Completion Date: 2025-02-17
Participants
Target number of participants: 140
Treatments
Experimental: Telerehabilitation group
The TR group will perform 4 weeks of cogntiive training using the FINAGE tablet. The rehabilitation tasks will train the patients on the detected FA deficits, but also on the cognitive domains underlying such abilities. FINAGE TR program will have a modular structure, with 8 different packages including AF and: language, attention, memory, numbers, logical reasoning, executive functions, theory of mind and testamentary capacities. Every package will involve exercises of increasing difficulty. Reaction times, number of stimuli presented and other parameters will be customizable, in order to be adaptable to different patients' cognitive conditions and/or to their achievements from one session to the other.
Active_comparator: Conventional treatment group
The CT group will perform 4 weeks of the standard cognitive training offered by IRCCS San Camillo Hospital.
