This study looks at a special type of dance therapy called Partnered Rhythmic Rehabilitation (PRR) for people with early Alzheimer's disease (AD). Alzheimer's is a disease that affects the brain, causing memory and thinking problems. PRR combines movement and thinking exercises to help improve balance, memory, and social skills. It’s a safe and fun way to help those with AD stay active.
The study lasts for one year and involves 66 participants. In the first 3 months, participants will do 90-minute dance sessions twice a week. For the next 9 months, they will attend weekly sessions. Alternatively, some participants will join a walking program. The aim is to see if PRR helps with thinking and moving better compared to walking.
- Participants must commit to a one-year program.
- They should be able to walk at least 10 feet without help.
- Participants must not have had a stroke in the last 3 years or any severe health issues.
