As a first screening tool to detect cognitive decline in the elderly, such as mild cognitive impairment and dementia, motor function test may be useful. In this study, we researched which index of tapping with touch pen are correlate with cognitive test.7 elderly people in community-dwelling (age:73.1±5.4, Barthel Index total score: 98.0±0.2 ) were participate in this study. Participations were ask to tap toward the center of the target with touch pen according to the 1000Hz beep sound. A tablet PC (iPad Pro) and a touch pen (Apple Pencil) were used as the measuring devices.Participations were also examined mini mental states examination, trail making test (TMT), “KANA-HIROI” test (dual attention task). Then, the \
relations between the performances of tapped points and the scores of the cognitive tests were explored. As a result, the two index showed a high correlation with the score of TMT and the number of correct answers of the “KANA-HIROI” test. One was the degree of deviation of the 50 dots with right hand from the center of target , and the other was the contact time between the touch pen and the screen with left hand.Our results suggested that tapping task with pen in elderly people with self-independent could be useful to screening attention function.
