  This study aimed to examine the impact of OT interventions on individuals with mild to moderate dementia, per MMSE scoring. Individuals included in this study were allocated to either a control group or group that received OT interventions including relaxation techniques, physical exercise, personal activities, cognitive activities and recreational activities. The interventions were measured based on the WHOQOL-BREF which measures quality of life based on 26 measures. The study was able to include a total of 77 Indian subjects. The results of the study revealed that quality of life improved greatly in the experimental group as compared to the control group which experienced a sharp decline in function. Personally, I feel that this is a great article. It illustrates the importance of our services in a growing population of patients. Also, it provides a clear outline of a typical treatment session which seems to mirror the groups we performed in Chris's class. It is great to see that research continues to validate what we are learning across various populations and cultures.
