Livestream, group movement program for people living with cognitive impairment and care partners: A randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

There are few widely-available, evidence-based options to support quality of life (QOL) for people living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.

Methods

We performed a randomized, controlled trial with a Waitlist control group to determine whether an online, livestream, mind-body, group movement program (Moving Together, 1 hour, 2 days/week, 12 weeks) improves QOL in people with cognitive impairment (PWCI) or care partners (CPs) and explore mechanisms of action. The primary outcome for both participants was self-reported QOL. Secondary outcomes and potential mediators included mobility, isolation, well-being, cognitive function, and sleep in PWCI and burden, positive emotions, caregiver self-efficacy, stress management, and sleep in CPs.
