Abstract
Cognitive dysfunction is one of the abnormalities that occur frequently in the population. There are many possibilities to influence these dysfunctions - for example: physical activity, cognitive rehabilitation, pharmacotherapy. The aim of our pilot study was to determine whether targeted physical activity (bipedal walking) has an effect on cognitive function in patients with vascular cognitive impairment. The partial aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of walking on the change in self-sufficiency during daily activities and the change in Body Mass Index (BMI) values. Twenty nine probands with a diagnosed stroke and cerebral arteriosclerosis were followed for one month. A Garmin Vívofit 3 watch was used to record the monthly movement intervention, which monitored the number of steps taken throughout the research. The effect of the movement intervention was evaluated using the MoCA test (Montreal cognitive test) and the BI test (Barthel index), and the weight and height of the probands were measured for the BMI evaluation. These values were measured at the beginning and end (after 1 month) of the intervention. Statistical and clinical analysis showed significant changes in the relationship between the number of steps and the improvement in cognitive function, self-sufficiency and BMI. Exercise therapy (walking) has a positive effect on improving monitored functions and therefore it should be included in the daily exercise regime.
