Previous studies have shown that finger exercise has a positive impact on cognitive retention and recovery in older adults with mild cognitive impairment(MCI). In this study, we developed a finger exergame based on OpenPose to study the difference between exergame and traditional exercise in improving cognitive function in elderly people with MCI. 20 eligible elderly individuals were randomly assigned to an experimental group (with 10 participants undergoing intervention using finger exergames.) and a control group (with 10 participants receiving treatment through traditional methods.). The results showed that our exergame was superior to traditional exercises in terms of improving cognition. The findings of this study support the potential application of OpenPose-based serious exergames as a promising tool for cognitive enhancement in the elderly population.
