Benefits of Strength Training in Informal Caregivers of Patients With Alzheimer's Disease
This trial tests whether a 10-week program of functional strength training plus progressive muscle relaxation does more than relaxation alone for people caring for someone with Alzheimer's. It measures frailty, anxiety, and caregiver burden, with a check-in three months later. It is a behavioral study with no drug and no phase.
