研究背景：轻度认知功能障碍（MCI）是一种同时存在解剖学和功能改变的脑部疾病。有明确的证据表明，与年龄匹配的非MCI诊断人群相比，被诊断患有MCI的个体在未来2-5年内患痴呆症的风险很高。本研究旨在探讨MCI患者的手指敲击频率是否与非MCI的健康个体不同，以及太极拳，一种中国传统的运动纪律，是否可以提高MCI患者的手指敲击频率。方法：研究人群包括≥50岁的受试者。第一组为来自上海市杨浦区社区的40名无锻炼习惯的受试者，第二组为来自上海市黄浦区老年大学太极拳班的60名受试者。进行蒙特利尔认知评估（莫卡）和手指敲击测试，以评估所有受试者的手指敲击频率。结果如下：MCI组莫卡评分显著低于非MCI组（P < 0.01），且不受年龄、体重、身高的影响。MCI组左手手指敲击频率显著低于对照组（P < 0.01），右手手指敲击频率也有类似趋势。太极拳组MCI患者莫卡评分显著低于非MCI组健康人（P < 0.01），年龄、体重、身高对MoCA评分无影响。太极拳课上，MCI组右手手指敲击频率低于健康组（P < 0.05），而左手手指敲击频率无显著性差异。结论：这些发现表明MCI受试者的手指敲击频率显著低于无MCI的正常受试者，长期太极拳锻炼可以减少这种显著差异。此外，两组受试者的非惯用手（左手）没有显著差异。
Background: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a brain disease with both anatomical and functional alterations. There is clear evidence that individuals that are diagnosed with MCI have a high risk to develop dementia in the next 2–5 years compared to an age-matched population with a non-MCI diagnosis. The present study aimed to investigate whether the finger tapping frequency of patients with MCI was different from that of healthy individuals without MCI, and whether Tai Chi, a traditional Chinese movement discipline, could improve the finger tapping frequency of MCI patients. Methods: The study population consisted of subjects of ≥50 years of age. Group one included 40 subjects without exercise habits from communities of Yangpu District in Shanghai, and group two included 60 subjects from a Tai Chi class in Shanghai Elderly University of Huangpu District. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and a finger tapping test were conducted to assess the finger tapping frequency of all subjects. Results: The MoCA score of MCI subjects was significantly lower compared to subjects without MCI (P < 0.01), and was not influenced by age, weight, or height. The finger tapping frequency of MCI subjects’ left hands was significantly lower compared to that of healthy subjects without MCI (P < 0.01), and a similar trend was observed for the subjects’ right hand. The MoCA score of MCI subjects in the Tai Chi class was significantly lower than that of healthy subjects without MCI (P < 0.01), which was not influenced by age, weight or height. The finger tapping frequency of MCI subjects’ right hands was lower compared to that of healthy subjects in the Tai Chi class without MCI (P < 0.05), but no significant difference regarding the finger tapping frequency of the left hand was observed. Conclusion: These findings suggested that finger tapping frequency of MCI subjects was significantly lower compared to normal subjects without MCI, and long-term Tai Chi exercise could reduce this significant difference. Moreover, there was no significant difference between groups for the subjects’ non-dominant (left) hand.
