Abstrakt: The effects of an exercise program utilizing Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) lumbar type on cognitive function among senior citizens were investigated. Seven senior citizens participated in this research. They engaged in a 20-minute exercise session with HAL twice a week for a total of 10 sessions over five weeks. The cognitive functions of participants were assessed using the Trail Making Test and the Stroop Test before and after entire the exercise program. While the scores of cognitive tasks did not exhibit significant changes before and after the exercise program, a discernible trend suggesting improvements in cognitive and/or motor functions was observed.
