Effects of physical activity in nursing home residents with dementia: A randomized controlled trial

Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Aug 29, 2018

The data presented in this work showed 6-month activities of daily living (ADL) training benefitted executive functions, physical endurance, and depression among men.
