“…The physiotherapy exercise program will include exercises selected from the Otago Exercise Program (OEP) which was developed and tested by the New Zealand Falls Prevention Research Group in New Zealand to reduce falls in older persons. Yet little research has investigated the use of OEP in people with dementia[ 17 , 18 ]. In particular, OEP consists of a warm-up stage promoting circulation and preparing the body for the rest of the program.…”

Dementia involves the loss of cognitive abilities and represents a decline from the prior level of function which impairs functional abilities in day-to-day life. No previous experimental research has been done to assess mental imagery (MI) effectiveness in the motor, cognitive and emotional status of individuals with early-stage dementia. One hundred and forty older individuals with early-stage dementia from the Day Care Centre of the Alzheimer Association in Athens will take part in this study. The sample will be randomly divided into three groups: MI and physical exercise (intervention group), only physical exercise (1 st control group), and neither MI nor physical exercise (2 nd control group). Assessment will be obtained one week prior to the program, in the middle of the program (6 th week of the intervention program) and after the end of the program (13 th week of the intervention program). Participants of the intervention group will perform a 30-minute MI programme after the end of every physiotherapy session. Reliable and valid instruments will be used to assess the primary outcomes, i.e., balance and functional status as well as the secondary outcomes i.e., cognitive ability, emotional state and quality of life. The two-way Mixed ANOVA with factors ‘intervention’ (between groups) and ‘time’ (within group) will be used as a statistical analysis. Approvals of clinical trial protocol: a) UNIWA Research Committee study protocol approval: 93292 - 26/10/2021. b) ClinicalTrials.gov: ID NCT05232526.

“…The 4-SBT requires balancing in each of 4 foot positions for 10 s (feet together, semi-tandem, tandem, single-limb stance) and is based on the FICSIT-4 (Frailty and Injuries: Cooperative Studies of Intervention Techniques) [ 38 ], which uses the same foot positions with more complex scoring. There is some precedent for use of the 4-SBT [ 14 ] and FICSIT [ 39 , 40 ] in dementia research. Evidence that community living older adults unable to maintain tandem stance ≥10 s are at higher risk of falls [ 41 ] makes the inability to sustain position 3 (tandem) an indication of fall risk in the OEP Manual [ 34 ].…”

“…Suttanon et al [ 13 ] found an in-home OEP-based program to be feasible and safe for participants with mild to moderate Alzheimer disease (MMSE mean score 21/30). A retrospective study by Trappuzano et al [ 14 ] showed some benefit of home health administered OEP for people with dementia (miniCog mean score of 1.76/5), and Beato et al [ 15 ] and Knott et al [ 16 ] retrospectively found a positive impact of an OEP-based intervention for assisted-living residents without commenting on the cognitive status of participants.…”

Feasibility of a Small Group Otago Exercise Program for Older Adults Living with Dementia

Older adults with dementia experience more frequent and injurious falls than their cognitively-intact peers; however, there are no evidence-based fall-prevention programs (EBFPP) for this population. The Otago Exercise Program (OEP) is an EBFPP for older adults that has not been well-studied in people with dementia. We sought to explore the feasibility of group delivery of OEP in an adult day health center (ADHC) for people with dementia. We collected demographic data, Functional Assessment Staging Tool (FAST), and Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE) scores for seven participants with dementia. Pre- and post-test data included: Timed-Up-and-Go (TUG), 30-Second Chair-Stand (30s-CST), Four-Stage-Balance-Test (4-SBT), and Berg Balance Scale (BBS). We implemented a supervised group OEP, 3x/week × 8 weeks. Most participants required 1:1 supervision for optimal challenge and participation. Five participants completed the program. All had moderately severe to severe dementia based upon FAST; MMSE scores ranged from mild to severe cognitive impairment. Four of five participants crossed the threshold from higher to lower fall risk in at least one outcome (TUG, 30s-CST, 4-SBT, or BBS), and four of five participants improved by >Minimal Detectible Change (MDC90) score in at least one outcome. The group delivery format of OEP required significant staff oversight for optimal participation, making the program unsustainable.
