The KICA Screen: the psychometric properties of a shortened version of the KICA (Kimberley Indigenous Cognitive Assessment)
Aim: To describe the development and psychometric properties of the KICA (Kimberley Indigenous Cognitive Assessment) Screen.; Methods: A short 10-item version of the KICA, the KICA screen was developed from original data of 363 Aboriginal people. The KICA Screen was subsequently independently validated in a non-random sample of 55 people living in Northern Queensland.; Results: […]

Evaluation of a computer-assisted errorless learning-based memory training program for patients with early Alzheimer’s disease in Hong Kong: a pilot study
Background: Improving the situation in older adults with cognitive decline and evidence of cognitive rehabilitation is considered crucial in long-term care of the elderly. The objective of this study was to implement a computerized errorless learning-based memory training program (CELP) for persons with early Alzheimer’s disease, and to compare the training outcomes of a CELP […]

Self-regulated music stimulation for persons with Alzheimer’s disease: impact assessment and social validation
Objective: To assess the impact and the social rating of an active music condition (in which 10 patients with Alzheimer’s disease regulated their music input) vs. a passive music condition.; Method: In the active condition, the patients used a simple hand response and a microswitch to activate music stimulation periods. In the passive condition, music […]

Assessing the impact and social perception of self-regulated music stimulation with patients with Alzheimer’s disease
We assessed the impact and social rating of an active and a passive music condition implemented with six patients with Alzheimer’s disease. In the active condition, the patients used a simple hand response and a microswitch to self-regulate music stimulation inputs. In the passive condition, music stimulation was automatically presented throughout the sessions. Active and […]

Language-enriched exercise plus socialization for older adults with dementia: translation to rural communities
Interventions that stimulate and engage individuals with dementia physically, cognitively, and socially offer promise for improving health and well-being and for potentially slowing functional losses with disease progression. We describe a volunteer-based intervention that combines physical exercise, cognitive-linguistic stimulation, and social outings for older persons living with dementia in rural communities. One-year follow-up data, although […]

Effects of a multimodal exercise program on balance, functional mobility and fall risk in older adults with cognitive impairment: a randomized controlled single-blind study
Background: Exercise programs have important role in prevention of falls, but to date, there are conflicting findings about the effects of exercise programs on balance, functional performance and fall risk among cognitively impaired older adults. AIM. To investigate the effects of a multimodal exercise program on static and dynamic balance, and risk of falls in […]

Video game play (Dance Dance Revolution) as a potential exercise therapy in Huntington’s disease: a controlled clinical trial
Objective: To investigate the feasibility, acceptability, and safety of a supervised video game exercise program administered via Dance Dance Revolution in individuals with Huntington’s disease.; Design: A cross-over, controlled, single-blinded, six-week trial.; Setting: Home-based.; Participants: Eighteen ambulatory individuals with Huntington’s disease (seven male, mean age 50.7 SD 14.7).; Interventions: Participants played the Dance Dance Revolution […]

What effect does a structured home-based exercise programme have on people with Huntington’s disease? A randomized, controlled pilot study
Objective: The aim of this study was to explore feasibility, safety and outcome of an exercise intervention in people with Huntington’s disease.; Design: A randomized controlled pilot trial.; Setting: A home-based exercise programme.; Subjects: A total of 25 subjects with early to mid-stage Huntington’s disease.; Intervention: Subjects were randomly allocated to either an exercise intervention […]

Results from the multisite implementation of STAR-VA: a multicomponent psychosocial intervention for managing challenging dementia-related behaviors of veterans
Dementia is often associated with challenging behaviors that can significantly impact the quality of life of individuals with dementia and pose great difficulty for long-term care staff. Antipsychotic medications, historically the mainstay approach for managing such behaviors, have increasingly been associated with limited efficacy and increased death risk with older dementia patients. In an effort […]

The effectiveness of a stimulation program on cognitive capacity among individuals older than 60
The purpose of this study was to test the effects of a multistimulant home-based intervention program on cognitive function, anxiety, and depression among older adults with cognitive impairment. This research is quasi-experimental and was designed in an effort to increase the cognitive capacity of individuals above the age of 60 with reduced cognitive capacities. Each […]
