This trial studies whether guided group exercise with music can improve how well people with moderate dementia follow exercise plans. Participants will join a nursing-home based music and movement group program.
This trial tests whether a structured aerobic (heart-pumping) exercise program can improve memory and thinking in older adults who feel memory trouble but have not been diagnosed with dementia. It focuses on people who are “at increased risk” due to common health factors like high blood pressure or diabetes.
This trial studies whether a structured “step training” exercise program can help people with mild dementia move better or think more clearly. It may be helpful if you can walk independently and have a regular caregiver at home.
This six-week exercise program helps older adults with mild memory or thinking problems and trouble walking stay independent and safe at home. You will work with a trainer and wear an activity tracker to track your progress.
This trial tests a gymnastics and multi-exercise program for people aged 60 and older who live at home. The goal is to see if this program improves strength, balance, and overall health.
