Combining cognitive stimulation therapy and fall prevention exercise (CogEx) in older adults with mild to moderate dementia: a feasibility randomised controlled trial

Abstract: Background: People living with dementia (PLwD) have a high fall risk as cognitive impairment compromises control of gait and balance. Fall prevention exercises that are effective in healthy older adults may not work for PLwD. Cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) has been shown to improve global cognition in PLwD. A programme which combines cognitive (CST) with physical exercises may reduce falls in PLwD. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of undertaking a full scale randomised controlled trial … Show more

“…The cumulative PEDro scores varied from low (score of 3) to medium quality (score of 7). Randomization was carried out in 6 studies [ 7 , 12 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 24 ], concealed allocation of randomization occurred in 3 studies [ 12 , 20 , 21 ], assessor blinding in 5 studies [ 12 , 20 , 22 , 23 , 24 ], intention-to-treat analysis in 5 studies [ 12 , 18 , 20 , 21 , 24 ], therapist blinding in 2 studies [ 12 , 24 ] and ≤15% dropouts in 3 studies [ 21 , 23 , 24 ]. There were no studies in which participants were blinded because of the difficulties associated with the interventions.…”
