Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Activities of daily living (ADL): Care Dependency Scale (CDS) and the performance-based Erlangen ADL (E-ADL)
Secondary outcome
Cognition:
- General cognitive functioning: Severe Impairment Battery (SIB) short version, MMSE (MMSE is not assessed at 3 months, only at baseline and six months)
- For participants with a MMSE of 5 or higher: Executive functioning (set-shifting, response inhibition, working memory): Category fluency tests (subtest GIT), Digit span (subtest of WAIS-III), subtests of the Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB; ‘conflicting instructions' and ‘go-no go’)
Physical function:
- Endurance: six minute walking test (6MWT)
- Strength: chair stand test, Jamar dynamometer
- Functional mobility: timed up and go (TUG)
- Balance: figure of eight walk test (FoE), Figure and Injuries: Cooperative Studies of Intervention Techniques (FICSIT-4)
Use of psychotropic drugs: derived from the medical charts
Quality of life related outcomes:
* Quality of life: Qualidem
* Mood and behaviour:
- Depression: Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD)
- Apathy: Apathy Evaluation Scale-10 (AES-10)
- Agitation: Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI)
* Rest-activity rhythm: actigraphy
Background summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to examine the effects a physical activity program and movement-focused care on activities of daily living, cognition, physical functions, quality of life related outcomes, and use of psychotropic drugs in nursing home residents with dementia
Study objective
1.The physical activity program and movement-focused care have beneficial effects on independence in activities of daily living in nursing home residents with dementia.
2.The physical activity program and movement-focused care have beneficial effects on cognition, physical function, quality of life related outcomes, and the use of psychotropic drugs in nursing home residents with dementia.
Study design
There are three time-points:
1. Baseline measurement;
2. Halfway through the intervention (12 weeks);
3. Post-intervention (24 weeks).
Intervention
In the present study, there are two interventions:
1. Physical activity program: combined strength and aerobic training with a duration of 6 months, 3 times a week for 30 minutes.
2. Movement-focused care: nursing staff and paramedics are trained to stimulate physical activity and independence during daily activities.
Separate and combined interventions will be applied leading to four conditions:
1. Combined intervention: physical activity program and movement-focused care
2. Physical activity program
3. Movement-focused care
4. Control: tea and coffee moments
