Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Primary study parameters that will be evaluated at the end of the intervention
(13 weeks): Adherence to the intervention regarding successfully followed
exercise sessions in relation to total available sessions; adverse events
related to the intervention; the experiences of participants and exercise
conductors.
Secondary outcome
Secondary study parameters: the effects on physical performance (strength,
static balance, walking speed, mobility) assessed with the Short Physical
Performance Battery and the Timed Up and Go, ADL independence with the
Functional Independence Measure, and neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia
assesses with the Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Nursing Hom
Background summary
Physiotherapy is frequently employed in the treatment of nursing home residents
with dementia. However, studies adhering to exercise guidelines, incorporating
sufficient strength, balance and endurance exercises, have not yet been
conducted in this population.
Study objective
To assess the adherence to the intervention regarding successfully followed
exercise sessions, adverse events related to the intervention and experiences
of intervention supervisors and participants. Secondly, we will evaluate
intervention effects on physical performance (leg strength, static balance,
walking speed), independence in daily activities (ADL), and neuropsychiatric
symptoms of dementia.
Study design
single-arm experimental pilot study.
Intervention
two times per week 45 minutes group exercise with strength and balance
exercises, two times per week 20 minutes aerobic stationary cycling on
self-selected resistance
Study burden and risks
Participants will undergo four physical tests (Short Physical Performance
Battery consisting of a sit-to-stand test, balance test, and walking speed
test; and the timed up an go test) that are part of a normal physical
assessment by a physiotherapist. Tests will be conducted twice (start and end
of the study). The other parameters can be assessed without burdening the
participant. There are no expected risks by participating in the study.

Inclusion criteria
- By a physician documented diagnosis of dementia in the patient file. In the
Nether-lands, the diagnosis of dementia is usually made before admission to the
nursing home. The primary physician or a geriatric specialist can make the
diagnosis, and there is no legislation according to what criteria the diagnosis
can be made.
- Able to walk 50 meters without the help of a person (walking aids are
allowed).
- Informed consent by the family/informal caregiver in charge.
- No expected resistance to the intervention, as perceived by the physician in
charge.
Exclusion criteria
- Behavioural problems that interfere with participation in a group
intervention, according to the physician in charge and/or the psychologist in
charge.
- Other factors listed by the physician in charge that could make it
unfavourable for the resident to take part in the study
