Introduction: To investigate the effect of physical exercise alone and in combination with cognitive stimulation on cognition, physical function, and quality of life in patients with Alzheimer's Disease (PwAD).
Methods: The study was a randomized controlled, single-blinded trial with pre-and post-treatment and follow-up assessments conducted at the private hospital and home environment in PwAD. Seventy-five (N = 75) participants diagnosed with AD were enrolled, but sixty (N = 60) participants (mean age 77.
Background: Detecting cognitive impairment such as Alzheimer's disease early and tracking it over time is essential for individuals at risk of cognitive decline.
Objective: This research aimed to validate the Beynex app's gamified assessment tests and the Beynex Performance Index (BPI) score, which monitor cognitive performance across seven categories, considering age and education data.
Methods: Beynex test cut-off scores of participants ( = 91) were derived from the optimization function and compared to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test.
Objective: It is important to investigate the effectiveness of delivering the rehabilitation service using remote communication technologies, for conditions that face-to-face treatment is not possible. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of exercise treatment via home-based telerehabilitation (TR) in Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Methods: Twenty participants who were diagnosed as having the early-middle stage of AD were randomized into a TR group and control group.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has made it necessity that rehabilitation services are provided remotely to patients. These process required a transformation in healthcare. The aim of this study was investigate the effectiveness of the home-based online supervised exercise program in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

CCT is a safe and inexpensive approach, but its efficacy in patients on rivastigmine therapy has not been evaluated. This study aims to compare effects of CCT and examines rivastigmine to determine whether CCT has any further contributions to make.
