A 10-week physical therapist-supervised exercise program for nursing home residents with dementia: a single arm, observational feasibility study
A 10-week, personalized, physical therapist-led exercise program for nursing home residents with dementia is feasible, with high adherence and positive evaluations. A pilot study to refine the recruitment and intervention procedures as well as pre-and post-intervention outcome measurements is needed prior to scaling up to a larger clinical trial assessing effectiveness.
