Blinded Randomized Trial of Anticoagulation to Prevent Ischemic Stroke and Neurocognitive Impairment in Atrial Fibrillation (BRAIN-AF)

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded clinical trial exploring the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban as compared to acetylsalicylic acid in reducing stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA) and neurocognitive decline, in subjects with non-valvular AF and with low risk of stroke.

Collaborative Power Mobility Innovative Learning OpporTunity (CoPILOT) - A Pilot Study of a New Training Approach (Phase 1) (CoPILOT)

Losing the ability to walk can lead to fewer opportunities to socialize with friends and family, and participate in the community. When this happens, powered wheelchairs can provide access to homes and communities, contributing to health and well-being. Training by a qualified occupational therapist allows an individual to use a powered wheelchair safely and effectively. Learning to drive a powered wheelchair can be difficult, frustrating and time consuming for people with cognitive and physical challenges.

Evaluating the effect of exercise, cognitive training and vitamin D in older adults

The proposed SYNERGIC trial is uniquely designed to evaluate the effect of aerobic and progressive resistance training exercises, combined with cognitive training and Vitamin D3 supplementation, in cognition and mobility in older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).

Is a Recent History of Multiple Falls an Early Indication of Cognitive Dysfunction?

We are recruiting people 65 and older to learn about the brain function differences between those who take falls, and those who do not. We will compare degree of cognitive decline over 12 months between fallers and non-fallers through brain scans (fMRI). We hope to ease identification of older adults at risk for dementia so intervention can occur.

Cognitive Brain Training in Older Adults

The investigators will conduct a 8-week proof-of-concept randomized controlled trial to provide preliminary evidence of efficacy of Fit Brains (Rosetta Stone Canada) training—a mobile cognitive training program—on cognitive and brain plasticity in older adults. The investigators will also explore whether Fit Brains training paired with a brief bout of exercise would enhance the potential cognitive benefits of Fit Brains.

Sleep & cognition: Examining the relationship between quality of sleep and cognitive function

We aim to examine the relationship bewteen cognitive function and sleep quality as a function of aging; and to determine whether sleep disruptions differ across individuals with mild cognitivie impairment, depending on stroke-status (i.e., chronic stroke survivors versus non-stroke).  These findings will be used to develop a randomized controlled trial to test interventions designed to improve sleep quality in an effort to promote cognitive function in older adults at risk for dementia.
