ListOutcomeTime frameDescriptionSource
PrimaryChange in the Tinetti balance, gait and fall risk testChange from Baseline to 1.5 months of intervention and to 3 months of intervention
This test is a standardized evaluation of balance and mobility designed to determine risk for falls during elderly. It has a very good inter-rater reliability and sensitivity. The gait testing included initiation of gait, step height, step length, step symmetry, step continuity, path deviation, trunk stability, walk stance, and turning while walking. Each item scored 1 if normal or 0 if abnormal. The balance testing included sitting balance, arising from chair, immediate standing, standing balance, balance with eyes closed, turning balance, neck turning, back extension, one-leg standing, push test, reaching up, bending down, and sitting down. Each item scored 1 (normal) or 0 (abnormal). Tinetti scores for risk of falls: ≤18 points=high risk; 19-23 points=moderate risk; ≥24 points =low risk.

PrimaryChange in digit span forward and backward testsChange from Baseline to 1.5 months of intervention and to 3 months of intervention
During the task a sequence of digits is read by the experimenter at a rate of 1/second, and participants is asked to recall the digits in forward or backward order immediately after hearing them. The task starting with a sequence of two digits, the number of digits per sequence will increase by one if a participant successfully recall a given sequence length twice. Testing will end when the participant makes errors on two successive trials of a given length. Performance will express as the number of sequences successfully recall.

PrimaryChange in Corsi block forward and backward testsChange from Baseline to 1.5 months of intervention and to 3 months of intervention
During the tasks the subject watches the tester touch a series of blocks (one block per second), then the subject is to touch the blocks in the same order or backward. The task starting with one block, the blocks per sequence will increase by one if a participant successfully recall a given sequence length twice. Testing will end when the participant makes errors on two successive trials of a given length. Performance will express as the number of sequences successfully recall.

PrimaryChange in the Stroop testChange from Baseline to 1.5 months of intervention and to 3 months of intervention
This task measures inhibitory control which is one of the core elements of executive functions. The task involves showing words that are the names of colors. The letters making up each word are printed in a color of ink different from the color name the word represents. The participant is asked to quickly respond with the color ink he sees, and inhibit the printed word. Performance will express the time (in seconds) it takes to finish the task and accuracy.

PrimaryChange in the weekly calendar planning activity testChange from Baseline to 3 months of intervention
This tool was designed to be useful across a variety of populations that exhibit difficulties in executive functioning. It provides a broad analysis of how a person manages and copes with a complex and cognitively challenging activity. In addition to including a weekly schedule, the assessment features client profiles on error analysis, visual performance, awareness of task difficulty, and pre/post comparisons. The Weekly Calendar Planning Activity has three levels of difficulty, from Level 1, the easiest, in which appointments are preordered, to Level 3, the most difficult, in which appointments are randomly ordered in paragraph form. We will use Level 2 for this study, In Level 2 the participant is presented with a list of appointments in random order they have to schedule during 1 week by filling in a paper calendar.

PrimaryChange in the hazard perception test for pedestriansChange from Baseline to 3 months of interventionThis computerized test was aimed to test and train pedestrians to safe cross walking and detect on road hazards as soon as possible.ClinicalTrials.gov
PrimaryChange in brain activity during n-back testChange from Baseline to 3 months of intervention
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is a non-invasive technology. The fMRI paradigm consists of 5 minutes resting-state and an N-back task. We will use the 3.0 Tesla Siemens Prisma MRI Scanner located in Tel-Aviv University.
