CST+MST Intervention on People Living With Mild-to-moderate Dementia
This Italian study tests a group program that combines Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (mental activities) with Motor Stimulation Treatment (movement exercises) for people 65 and older who already have mild-to-moderate dementia. It measures changes in memory and thinking scores and in walking ability. It is a behavioral study with no drug, and no formal phase.
You may qualify if
- age ≥ 65 years;
- having been assessed by a Center for Dementia and Cognitive Disorders (CCDD) who diagnosed dementia with any etiology of mild to moderate severity;
- being able to perform a Timed Up and Go test (TUG) regardless of the time taken, i.e. being able to walk independently or with assistance, but without the need for human help during the test;
- having no hearing or visual impairments of a degree that would preclude participation in the interventions.
You're excluded if
- presence of specific behavioural disorders (delusions, hallucinations, agitation, anxiety, euphoria, disinhibition, irritability, wandering) of a degree that prevents participation in the interventions;
- diseases that contraindicate physical activity (e.g. severe heart failure).
