摘要
We explored the effect and the difference between types of electronic map, paper map and colored lines guide on the wayfinding abilities of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. Fifty-six normal control (NC) subjects, nineteen mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients and thirty patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) were recruited to participate in this study. Based on a virtual maze with 3Dmax and an interface with Virtools, our results showed that the wayfinding abilities were worse in the AD group compared with the MCI group and normal aged participants. However, with the support of track-up map and colored lines guide, the AD group and MCI group had similar performance as to normal aged participants. Our study has provided insight to establish future electric navigation maps built for patients with cognition impairment.
