PREVENTING LOSS OF INDEPENDENCE THROUGH EXERCISE (PLIE) AND PAIRED PLIE: RESULTS TO DATE

ABSTRACT: Abstract Preventing Loss of Independence through Exercise (PLIÉ) and Paired PLIÉ are unique integrative group movement programs that target abilities and neural mechanisms that are relatively well-preserved in people with dementia. PLIÉ includes 1-hour daycare center-based classes with up to 10 individuals with dementia, 3 days/week for 18 weeks + 4 monthly home visits. Paired PLIÉ includes 1-hour community-based classes with up to 5 dyads (people with dementia and their caregivers), 2 days/week for 12 weeks + 3 monthly home visits. We are currently performing randomized, controlled trials of PLIÉ (NCT02350127) and Paired PLIÉ (NCT02729311). This abstract presents results to date including feasibility (enrollment/retention), safety (adverse events) and satisfaction (anonymous surveys). We
