Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the impact of Community Intervention on Dementia and Activities of Daily Living in community-dwelling elderly individuals (≥60 year old) with Alzheimer's disease. It primarily aims to address: the effects of Community Intervention on Dementia and Activities of Daily Living in community-dwelling elderly individuals with Alzheimer's disease in different degrees. All participants are required to undergo a continuous 2-week (14 days) Community Intervention, with weekends off and training conducted only on weekdays. The training will be conducted two sessions per day, lasting 30 minutes each.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Mini-Mental State Examination

  The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a widely used tool for assessing cognitive function, particularly in the elderly population. It evaluates various cognitive domains such as orientation, memory, attention, calculation, and language. The test consists of a series of questions and tasks, including asking the individual to state the current date, recall a list of words, perform simple calculations, and follow verbal commands. Each correct response earns a certain number of points, and the total score ranges from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating better cognitive function.
