简要总结
The aim for this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a 16-week minimal-equipment progressive resistance training program compared to usual care, in improving functional outcomes among older adults with dementia in Singapore.
Participants will:
- receive either minimal-equipment progressive resistance training or continue with usual care
- perform physical and cognitive function tests at three time-points

研究组 & 干预措施
Progressive resistance training
Participants in the intervention arm will receive a 16-week progressive resistance training programme implemented by center staff in a community dementia daycare center.
干预措施: Minimal-equipment progressive resistance training (Other)
Usual Care
Participants in the control arm will continue receiving the usual care provided at the community dementia daycare center.
结局指标
主要结局
Change in handgrip strength
时间窗: Baseline, Mid-intervention (Week 9), Post-intervention (Week 17)
This test is a measurement of upper limb strength. Handgrip strength will be measured in kilograms using a Jamar Plus + Digital Hand Dynamometer. Participants will squeeze the dynamometer with maximum effort in a seated position with their arms at their sides and elbows flexed at 90 degrees. Two trials will be administered for each arm and the highest of four readings will be used for analysis.
Change in five times sit-to-stand test
时间窗: Baseline, Mid-intervention (Week 9), Post-intervention (Week 17)
This test is a measurement of lower limb strength. Participants will be instructed to perform five chair stands as fast as possible using a chair without arms, and the time recorded will be used for analysis.
Change in 30-seconds sit-to-stand test
时间窗: Baseline, Mid-intervention (Week 9), Post-intervention (Week 17)
This test is a measurement of lower limb strength and power. Participants will be instructed to perform repeated chair stands as fast as possible using a chair without arms, and number of completed full stands will be recorded for analysis.
次要结局
- Change in Time Up and Go test(Baseline, Post-intervention (Week 17))
- Change in Short Physical Performance Battery test(Baseline, Post-intervention (Week 17))
- Change in gait speed test(Baseline, Post-intervention (Week 17))
- Change in functional reach test(Baseline, Post-intervention (Week 17))
- Change in calf circumference(Baseline, Post-intervention (Week 17))
- Change in mid-upper-arm circumference(Baseline, Post-intervention (Week 17))
- Change in Mini-Mental State Examination(Baseline, Post-intervention (Week 17))
- Change in Trail Making Test(Baseline, Post-intervention (Week 17))
- Change in EQ-5D-5L proxy index score(Baseline, Post-intervention (Week 17))
- Fall incidence(Post-intervention (Week 17))
