“…It is high compared with other research having similar interventions and participants. Rydwik, Frandin, and Akner (2005) reported a mean adherence rate of 65% for a 10-week physical training program; Bastone Ade and Jacob Filho (2004) reported a 68% adherence rate for a six-month exercise program; Baum et al (2003) reported an 80% adherence rate for one year of physical intervention.…”

“…Several studies (Bastone Ade & Jacob Filho, 2004;Baum, Jarjoura, Polen, Faur, & Rutecki, 2003;Cadore et al, 2014;Lazowski et al, 1999) reported increased physical performances in institutionalized older adults after a physical activity program. In particular, Cadore et al (2014) showed enhanced mobility, balance, and strength performances with a reduced incidence of falls in frail nonagenarians after 12 weeks of multicomponent exercise.…”

“…Bastone Ade and Jacob Filho (2004) found significant improvement in gait speed, strength, and lower limb function following six months of physical training (i.e., range of motion, strength, mobility exercises) in institutionalized older adults. Similarly, a randomized controlled trial (Baum et al, 2003) demonstrated that a 48-week program based on strength and flexibility exercises for frail older adults living in residential care facilities resulted in strong improvements in terms of mobility and a moderate increase in balance. In contrast, many studies (Faber, Bosscher, Chin A Paw, & van Wieringen, 2006;Mulrow et al, 1994;Nowalk, Prendergast, Bayles, D'Amico, & Colvin, 2001) observed a weaker impact of physical training on institutionalized older adults.…”

The aim of this study was to assess the direct and indirect effects of a multicomponent exercise (MCE) program on mobility and balance in institutionalized older people. One hundred and twelve subjects (85 women; 83.0 years on average; SD = 7.5) were included in the study, and divided into a MCE-group (MCE-G) and a control group (CG) according to matching techniques. The MCE-G consisted of a 9-month program featuring range-of-motion, strength, and balance exercises performed in small groups. The CG received routine medical and nursing care. The timed up-and-go test and Tinetti Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment balance subscale were administered at baseline and postintervention. After controlling for physical baseline value, age, sex, residential care facilities, and body mass index, the MCE-G showed positive effects both on mobility (p < .001) and balance (p = .001). The role of balance as mediator in the relationship between participation to the MCE program and mobility was demonstrated.

“…Krampe and colleagues 41 reported an attendance of 88% using a similar training duration. Specifically, Baum and colleagues 23 reported an attendance of 80% during 48 weeks of strength training where the care staff encouraged and assisted the participant of the study. The strengths of our study were the organization of our training in accordance with the schedule inside the care facility and the daily routine of the participants.…”

This pilot study identified the effect and the feasibility of neuromotor training in a group of ageing women living in a long-term care setting. Thirty-five older women (mean age, 84.18 years; SD = 5.92 years) participated in the study. Twenty women were in the intervention group, and 15 women were in the control group. Data on mobility, activities of daily living (ADL) and fear of falling were collected before and after the 16-week training period. The neuromotor training program was based on concepts from motor control and motor learning. All participants completed the training program, and no adverse events occurred. The intervention group showed steady and significant improvements in mobility, ADL and fear of falling after the intervention, but the control group did not exhibit significant changes. Moreover, mediation analysis demonstrated the role of mobility as a mediator between participation in physical training and fear of falling.

“…A recent systematic review on physical activity for PWD reported randomized controlled trials that assessed a wide range of exercise interventions including aerobics, stretching, and strengthening [1]. Selected outcomes of these trials included improved walking speed [2], improved strength and flexibility [3], and improved performance on the Timed "Up and Go" test (TUG) [4].…”

Two-week virtual reality training for dementia: Single case feasibility study

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract-Persons with dementia (PWD) are known to have difficulty with participation and focus during physical activity. Virtual reality (VR) offers a unique medium for motor learning but has only been used previously for cognitive assessment for PWD. Our study had two objectives: (1) investigate the feasibility and safety of an exercise-based VR training program in PWD, and (2) investigate its effects on balance and mobility. The intervention consisted of daily (5 d/wk, 1 h each) VR training sessions for 2 wk for a single research participant. Clinical balance and mobility measures were assessed 1 wk prior to, during, 1 wk following, and 1 mo after the intervention. Postintervention interviews provided qualitative feedback from the participant and his caregivers. Results indicate that VR training is feasible, safe, and enjoyable for PWD. However, balance and mobility measures were unaffected. VR training is well tolerated in a single research participant with dementia and is an engaging medium for participation in exercise.
