Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to see the effect of life story questionnaire (LSQ) on physical therapy participation in patients with dementia. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

1. 1.What is the effect of LSQ usage on physical therapy participation in people with dementia?
2. 2.What is the effect of LSQ usage on depression in people with dementia?
3. 3.What is the effect of LSQ usage on the quality of life in people with dementia? The researcher will compare these effects between the intervention group (usage of the Life Story Questionnaire) and the control group (no usage of the Life story questionnaire).

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: DOUBLE
• Who Masked: PARTICIPANT, OUTCOMES ASSESSOR
• Masking Details: The outcome assessor will be blind to the usage of the life story questionnaire for study participants. Additionally, the participants will not be told the group they were allocated to.
• Purpose: TREATMENT
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
• PI Title: Principal co-investigator

Model Details: Prospective Randomized Control Trial. Patients will be randomly allocated in two groups: (1) Control group, which will receive standard physical therapy care without LSQ use; and (2) Experimental group, where physical therapists will use the LSQ.
