Cognitive rehabilitation changes memory-related brain activity in people with Alzheimer disease
Background: People with Alzheimer disease (AD) are capable of new learning when cognitive support is provided, suggesting that there is plasticity even in a degenerating brain. However, it is unclear how a cognition-focused intervention operates on a neural level.; Objective: The present study examined the effects of cognitive rehabilitation (CR) on memory-related brain activation in […]

A pilot cluster-randomized trial of a 20-week Tai Chi program in elders with cognitive impairment and osteoarthritic knee: effects on pain and other health outcomes
Context: Because Tai Chi (TC) is beneficial to elders without cognitive impairment (CI), it also may benefit elders with CI. But elders with CI have generally been excluded from TC studies because many measurement tools require verbal reports that some elders with CI are unable to provide.; Objectives: To test the efficacy of a TC […]

The effects of multidisciplinary rehabilitation in patients with early-to-middle-stage Huntington’s disease: a pilot study
Background and Purpose: Despite advances in the understanding of Huntington’s disease (HD), treatment remains symptomatic. Multidisciplinary rehabilitation, however, appears to impact disease progression. Here we show the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a 9-month multidisciplinary rehabilitation programme in a small cohort of patients with early-to-middle-stage HD.; Methods: Twenty patients with HD were assigned to two […]

A randomized cross-over controlled study on cognitive rehabilitation of instrumental activities of daily living in alzheimer disease
Objective: The goal of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of a memory rehabilitation program to re-learn instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD). Design: This was a 6-month block-randomized cross-over controlled study. Setting: All evaluation and training sessions were performed at each patient’s home. Participants: Twenty participants with […]

The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) in geriatric rehabilitation: psychometric properties and association with rehabilitation outcomes
Background: Cognitive status has been reported to be an important predictor of rehabilitation outcome. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was designed to overcome some of the limitations of established cognitive screening tools such as the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the psychometric characteristics of the MoCA as a […]

Feasibility, safety and preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of a home-based exercise programme for older people with Alzheimer’s disease: a pilot randomized controlled trial
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of a home-based exercise programme for people with Alzheimer’s disease, and to provide preliminary evidence of programme effectiveness in improving balance and mobility and reducing falls risk.; Design: A randomized controlled trial.; Setting: Community.; Participants: Forty people with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (mean age 81.9, SD 5.72; […]

Evaluation of a home-based exercise program in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease: the Maximizing Independence in Dementia (MIND) study
Objective: To determine the feasibility and efficacy of a home-based exercise intervention program to improve the functional performance of patients with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD).; Methods: Twenty-seven home-dwelling patients with AD were randomized to either an exercise intervention program delivered by their caregivers or a home safety assessment control. Measures of functional performance (primary), cognition, neuropsychiatric […]

Early ambulation produces favorable outcome and nondemential state in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients older than 70 years of age
Background: We analyzed consecutive subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) cases in patients older than 70 years of age who underwent aneurysm surgery. We report the influence of early ambulation on outcome in advanced-age SAH.; Methods: From 2005 through 2010, 71 aneurysmal SAH cases whose Hunt-Hess grades ranged from 1 to 3 were included. All cases underwent clip […]

An intensive exercise program improves motor performances in patients with dementia: translational model of geriatric rehabilitation
Background: Translation of intensive exercise programs developed specifically for patients with dementia into clinical settings is lacking.; Objective: To determine if a progressive resistance and functional training program, previously evaluated in dementia outpatients, can be implemented in a geriatric inpatient setting in order to improve motor performances in patients with dementia.; Methods: Eligible patients in […]

Cognitive rehabilitation multi-family group intervention for individuals with mild cognitive impairment and their care-partners
There is increasing need for early, pro-active programs that can delay dementia diagnosis and enhance well-being of individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and their care-partners (i.e., care-dyads). This randomized controlled trial evaluated the efficacy of a combined cognitive rehabilitation and multi-family group treatment (CR-MFG) that was designed to facilitate adoption of newly learned cognitive […]
