AMusED: Adherence by Music to Exercise in Dementia (R-12536)

Moderate intense physical exercise has a beneficial effect on physical function, cognition and behavior in individuals with dementia. 60% of individuals with dementia live in residential care. Physical therapy time is limited in this setting and adherence and motivation to exercise appears to be low. This AMusED-project (Adherence by MUSic to Exercise in Dementia) aims to increase the adherence and training volume in people with dementia in nursing homes with the use of music, film and group therapy
