Background: The course and outcomes of hip fracture patients are often complicated by the presence of dementia and delirium, referred to as cognitive impairment (CI), which limits access to in-patient rehabilitation. In response to this concern, members of our team developed and piloted an in-patient rehabilitation model of care (Patient-Centred Rehabilitation Model; PCRM) targeting patients […]
Alzheimer’s disease multiple intervention trial (ADMIT): study protocol for a randomized controlled clinical trial

Morris, Carrie S.,
Vogel, Mickey,
Hendrie, Hugh C.
Background: Given the current lack of disease-modifying therapies, it is important to explore new models of longitudinal care for older adults with dementia that focus on improving quality of life and delaying functional decline. In a previous clinical trial, we demonstrated that collaborative care for Alzheimer’s disease reduces patients’ neuropsychiatric symptoms as well as caregiver […]
Physical therapy in Huntington’s disease–toward objective assessments?
Bohlen, S.,
Ekwall, C.,
Hellström, K.,
Vesterlin, H.,
Björnefur, M.,
Wiklund, L.,
Reilmann, R.
Background and Purpose: Physical therapy is recommended for the treatment of Huntington’s disease, but reliable studies investigating its efficacy are almost non-existent. This may in part be due to the lack of suitable outcome measures. Therefore, we investigated the applicability of novel quantitative and objective assessments of motor dysfunction in the evaluation of physical therapy […]
A new combined strategy to implement a community occupational therapy intervention: designing a cluster randomized controlled trial
Döpp, Carola M. E.,
Graff, Maud J. L.,
Teerenstra, Steven,
Adang, Eddy,

Olderikkert, Marcel G. M.,
Vernooij-Dassen, Myrra J. F. J.
Background: Even effective interventions for people with dementia and their caregivers require specific implementation efforts. A pilot study showed that the highly effective community occupational therapy in dementia (COTiD) program was not implemented optimally due to various barriers. To decrease these barriers and make implementation of the program more effective a combined implementation (CI) strategy […]
