Abstract:
The purpose of the research is to design and develop a Protection Alzheimers Disease Recreation Application for Thai Elderly People which emphasize on result of improvement in Cognitive Function. Under the concept of Exercise in Virtual Environment. This Application can raise up quality of elderly Thai people's life, can be use as another option to protect Alzheimer's Disease for Elderly Thai people in present day. The method is to use (Montreal Cognitive Assessment: MoCa-Test) to compare the result score between before and after using Protection Alzheimers Disease Recreation Application for Thai Elderly People. The Sample groups are separate into 3 groups 1) Group of people whose exercise with Exercise Game Application. 2) Group of people whose exercise without using Exercise Game Application. 3) Group of people whose do not exercise. The samples are Elderly Thai Peoples, ages between 55- 75 years old, healthy, numbers 13 peoples. The research instrument is Protection Alzheimers Disease Recreation Application for Thai Elderly People (Cycling Papa). Starting with lets The Sample groups take MoCa-Test to get the result score of Cognitive Assessment, then lets Experimental Group exercise with Exercise Game Application for a period of time (10 times, 1 month), then let them take a Moca-Test again while the other Control groups waiting for 1 month, (same period of time with Experimental group) then have them take MoCa-Test again to compare the result score between before and after using Protection Alzheimers Disease Recreation Application for Thai Elderly People. To see between those 3 groups which group have the most improvement in Cognitive Function. The finding showed group of people whose exercise with Exercise Game Application (Experimental group) have an improvement in Cognitive Function compare with group of people whose dont use Exercise game application have no improvement. The finding showed at least 1 group has improvement in cognitive function differently than other and find out group of people whose exercise with Exercise game application has most improvement in Cognitive Function. In conclusion using Protection Alzheimers Disease Recreation Application for elderly Thai people can improve cognitive function and can be use as another option to protect Alzheimers Disease for elderly Thai peoples.
