Partnered Rhythmic Rehabilitation in Prodromal Alzheimer's Disease

Phase N/A

Partnered Rhythmic Rehabilitation (PRR) is a fun and safe social dance therapy for people with early Alzheimer's disease (AD), also called prodromal AD. Alzheimer's affects how people think and move at the same time, which can make daily activities challenging. PRR combines dance, brain exercises, and social interaction to help improve these skills. In this 12-month study, participants will either join PRR classes or walking sessions. For the first 3 months, you'll have two 90-minute sessions each week, and then once a week for the next 9 months. This is a phase II clinical trial, meaning researchers are testing PRR’s safety and effectiveness. Participation is safe as previous studies showed no harmful falls during PRR classes.

  • Commitment: 1 year with biweekly sessions for 3 months, then weekly sessions for 9 months.
  • Compensation: Participants will receive compensation for their time and effort in the study.
  • Eligibility: You must be able to walk 10+ feet unaided and not have certain health issues like uncontrolled heart problems or recent strokes.
