Overview

Randomized controlled trial assessed exercise effects on cognitive and physical function in dementia patients, suggesting improved outcomes.

Key Points

  • Exercise improved working memory, leg strength, and quality of life in people living with dementia (PWD).
  • Adherence rates for the exercise program were about 60%, indicating feasibility of the adapted Otago program.
  • Cognitive assessments showed no significant change in executive function, measured by the Color-Word Stroop test.
  • The study highlights the need for adapted exercise interventions in residential care settings for PWD.
