Summary

Move for your mind is a single blind, 3-arm randomized controlled clinical pilot trial. The study aims to test the effect of a weekly Dalcroze eurhythmics program (arm 1) and a home strength exercise program (arm 2) against control (no exercise) on the rate of falling, quality of life, gait performance and cognitive function. All groups receive vitamin D. In addition the study shall test the feasibility of the recruitment and the interventions in this target population. The study includes 60 seniors, age 65 and older, with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia. Participants are recruited by the memory clinic of City Hospital Waid. During the 12 months follow-up, participants will have 3 clinical visits (baseline, 6 and 12 month). Despite major efforts the target population is very difficult to recruit and adherence to treatment is low. We therefore decided to stop recruitment and to use this trial as a pilot trial for future clinical trials of the same topic.
