Objective : This study predicted that there would be a correlation between board game performance and cognition and hand dexterity, but previous research on this is insufficient. Therefore, this study is to investigate the correlation between cognitive function and hand dexterity of elderly people over 65 years old, and to provide basic data for occupational therapy for improving the perception and quality of life of the elderly.
Methods : The study included 80 men and women aged 65 and older living in Dong-gu, Busan, and collected data collection periods twice in June and September of 2016.The research data were collected from elderly people over 65 years old who visited the D elderly welfare center in Busan. The study tool was used to assess the perception of the Montreal (MoCA-K), hand and box dexterity (Box and Block Test), and the performance of the board games using the
performance questionnaire and SPSS version 23.0 .
Results : In this study, there was a statistically significant correlation between the performance of a board game and the ability to perform a board game.
Conclusion : According to the results of this study, there is a significant correlation between the performance of a board game and the ability to perform a board game.
