简要总结
The aim of this exploratory pilot study is to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of the adapted T&E home-based exercise program on the basic functional mobility and executive functions in persons with mild or probable Alzheimer's Disease.
详细描述
Primary and secondary outcomes will be measured at T0 (one week before the begin of the intervention) and T1, (one week after the eight weeks of the intervention) at home of the participants.
Eight home-based physiotherapy sessions will occur in two months, once a week, to activate the preserved implicit memory (PIM). The recommendations are to train three weeks with the same exercise program, three times a week (one time coached by the attributed physiotherapist and two times coached by a natural or family caregiver). After three weeks, the participants can choose if they want to keep the same exercises or change all or some of these, in testing other tasks. Every training session will be planned to last 45 minutes. During each training session, the participant will note on his/her own "Training booklet" each task performed. The "Training booklet" will be used to plane, organize, and remember details for the next training session.
Twelve participants will take part at this study.
