    This is a systematic review that looks at the evidence for the effects of exercise on ADL functioning of people with AD. This review also looked at the effects of exercise on cognition and mood and on physical performance. The initial search for articles for the systematic review began with over 2000 articles, and the reviewers narrowed it down to 6 articles. Overall, they found that exercise can, in fact improve ADL function in people with AD. Exercise can also improve physical performance, and may slow the decline in cognition and boost mood in those with AD.

    This article used 6 other articles to review effects of exercise on ADL performance of those with Alzheimer's Disease. Occupational therapy intervention that includes aerobic and strengthening exercises may help improve independence in ADLs and improve physical performance in people with Alzheimer's. More research needs to done to identify specific components of intervention and optimal dosage to develop clinical guidelines. At my SNF placement, I have worked with many residents with Alzheimer's. We do use strength training with most patients is they are able to do it, and we also work to increase endurance as well. It is good to see evidence to back up treatment

    As the title suggests, this article discusses occupational therapy interventions aimed at modifying the environment for persons with Alzheimer's disease as well as all forms of dementia. The article is a systematic review which provides the reader with insight into the different types of environmental modifications commonly utilized by occupational therapy practitioners as well as their effectiveness. This particular article is certainly a good read for those of us who are currently completing our level II fieldwork in a SNF, as Alzheimer's disease and related dementias are very common in such settings.

    Occupational therapy plays a crucial role in maximizing client's functional performance, regardless of their disease or condition. Sometimes, it is necessary to adapt the environment or modify the way that clients perform a particular task. In addition, exercise and physical activity has been shown to slow disease progression and enhance overall functional performance.

    Occupational therapy practitioners play a significant role in supporting adults with Alzheimer's disease and related major neurocognitive disorders, as well as their caregivers, through all phases of the disease process. This editorial highlights the systematic reviews completed in collaboration with the American Occupational Therapy Association's Evidence-Based Practice Project that summarize the evidence for the effectiveness of interventions within the scope of occupational therapy practice for this population. Readers are encouraged to translate and integrate this updated knowledge into everyday practice.

    Janszky, J., Blom, S., Georgiades, A., Laszlo, K., Alinaghizadeh, H., Ahnve, S. (2007) study aimed to evaluate the effect of a 1-year stress management program, aimed at reducing symptoms of depression and vital exhaustion (VE) in women in coronary heart disease (CHD). The study included 247 women who were conveniently recruited after a cardiac event of AMI, PCI, CABG at Karolinska University Hospital at Huddinge or at St. Gorans Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden. The experimental group which included stress management (20 2-hour sessions) and medical care by a cardiologist or the control group that consisted of usual care health post heart surgeries with no stress management session. The study had many limitations, first were women who did not want to participate in the 1 year intervention were not compared to those who did. The study also did not enroll subjects who may have been considered healthier. The subjects in the treatment group were in the care of a cardiologist and the self-rated vital exhaustion and depressive symptom measures may have been biased. The results of the study included that vital exhaustion for both groups improved over time and the decreased amount of VE was more pronounced in the intervention group. The change in depressive symptoms between the two groups did not differ.

    The MoCA screen is commonly used for individuals with Parkinson's Disease. The current study is a follow up from an original study. Thus, the aim of this pilot study was to develop an initial version of a new scoring procedure for the MoCA which considers the subtests' power to detect cognitive symptoms in PD, and to test whether it improves the ability to discriminate PD patients without cognitive impairment from patients with MCI and PD dementia. Screening procedures have high value as a time-economic, easy to use tool for a first step in detecting cognitive impairment in clinical practice, but will unlikely outweigh the reliability and validity of a neuropsychological test battery. The sensitivity of the MoCA increased from 68.8% to 81.3% while maintaining a specificity of 75% when using the weighted measurements. This means that more cognitively impaired subjects were detected in both patient groups. Since the sensitiviy increased it greater serves the purpose of a screen, to identify patients with cognitive impairments. The authors suggest this algorithm of weighting subtests may be applicable to patients with PD and other populations as historically some subtests of the MoCA have been too simple for non-demented patients.
