Promoting In-Home Activities At a Memory & Aging Clinic

Phase 1

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: MCI; Mild Dementia
• Interventions: Behavioral: Gentle Moves

• Registration Number: NCT05771064
• Lead Sponsor: University of Illinois at Chicago

Brief Summary

The objective of the proposed study, "Promoting In-Home Activities at a Memory \& Aging Clinic (Pro-Home MeC)", is to assess and improve the feasibility of a physical activity (PA) intervention and the measurement of cognitive outcomes in a memory clinic setting for inactive older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia and to examine how and improve the feasibility and acceptability of the procedures.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Gentle Moves	Gentle Moves	Three-month physical activity intervention.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Program Feasibility	3 months	• Program feasibility measured by program adherence (e.g., self-reported program activities in the past 24 hours, yes/no).
Program Acceptability	3 months	• Program acceptability measured by patient's perception of the program difficulty. (Too hard, a little too hard, just right, a little too easy, much easy)
Feasibility of NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery	3 months	Feasibility of NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery measured by administration time.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery scores	3 months	NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery Fluid Cognition scores (range 59 - 140, higher score means better cognition)
