Falls and Physical Activity in Persons With Mild to Moderate Dementia Participating in an Intensive Motor Training Randomized Controlled Trial

摘要

Background: Physical activity is beneficial in people with dementia. As physical activity increases risk exposure for falls, safety concerns arise. Prior exercise trials in people with dementia have not measured physical activity. Falls in relation to exposure time rather than person-years as outcome measure has been promoted but not investigated in people with dementia.
