Mild cognitive impairment is a transitional cognitive stage that appears between normal aging and early Alzheimer’s disease. Cognitive functions other than memory are normal and there is no difficulty in daily life, but management is needed to delay the transition to dementia. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of cognitive rehabilitation using immersive virtual reality on the cognitive function and visual perception of the elderly with mild cognitive impairment and to compare them with traditional cognitive rehabilitation. In this study, a total of 64 elderly people aged 65 and over who visited 4 rehabilitation hospitals and dementia safety centers located in Daegu and Gyeongbuk were selected. As a result of the study, cognitive function showed a significant improvement in the experimental group, and visual perception function showed a significant improvement in both the experimental group and the control group. Cognitive rehabilitation using immersive virtual reality can present another strategy for improving the cognitive function and visual perception of the elderly with mild cognitive impairment.
