Promoting In-Home Activities at a Memory & Aging Clinic

The objective of the proposed study, "Promoting In-Home Activities at a Memory & Aging Clinic (Pro-Home MeC)", is to assess and improve the feasibility of a physical activity (PA) intervention and the measurement of cognitive outcomes in a memory clinic setting for inactive older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia and to examine how and improve the feasibility and acceptability of the procedures.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age 50+
  • Fluent in English
  • Diagnosed with MCI or mild dementia
  • Physically inactive (< 150 min/wk of planned PA)
  • Able to sit in a chair independently for 15+ minutes

Exclusion criteria

  • Have significant mental or physical disabilities that lead to inability to perform PA safely (e.g., major stroke)
  • Severe uncompensated hearing or visual loss
  • Having insufficient decisional capacity to consent to participate in research.
  • Lack of safety awareness
  • Unwilling to be assigned to Pro-Home MeC or control group
  • Currently participating in PA intervention research

Treatment and study plan

Gentle Moves

Behavioral

A safe physical activity program which consists of a brief motivational enhancement and three movements to be performed in a seated position; and two movements in the standing position. The intervention will be delivered by a research coach.

Primary outcomes

  1. Program Feasibility

    Time frame: 3 months

    • Program feasibility measured by program adherence (e.g., self-reported program activities in the past 24 hours, yes/no).

  2. Program Acceptability

    Time frame: 3 months

    • Program acceptability measured by patient's perception of the program difficulty. (Too hard, a little too hard, just right, a little too easy, much easy)

  3. Feasibility of NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery

    Time frame: 3 months

    Feasibility of NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery measured by administration time.

Secondary outcomes

  1. NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery scores

    Time frame: 3 months

    NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery Fluid Cognition scores (range 59 - 140, higher score means better cognition)
