Technology-Based Behavioral Interventions for Daily Activities and Supported Ambulation in People With Alzheimer's Disease
Lancioni GE, Singh NN, O'Reilly MF, Sigafoos J, D'Amico F, Laporta D, Cattaneo MG, Scordamaglia A et al.. American journal of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, 2018-05-09
Topic: Amyloid, tau and blood-test diagnosis
Objectives These 2 studies evaluated technology-based behavioral interventions for promoting daily activities and supported ambulation in people with mild-to-moderate and moderate-to-severe Alzheimer's disease, respectively. Methods Study 1 included 8 participants who were taught to start and carry out daily activities on their own using a tablet or smartphone device, which provided activity reminders, step instructions, and praise. Study 2 included 9 participants who were taught to engage in brief periods of ambulation using a walker combined with a tilt microswitch and a notebook computer, which monitored step responses and provided stimulation and prompts. Results The participants of study 1 succeeded in starting the activities independently and carrying them out accurately. The participants of study 2 largely increased their ambulation levels and also showed signs of positive involvement (eg, smiles and verbalizations). Conclusion The aforementioned technology-based interventions may represent practical means for supporting people with Alzheimer's disease.

How this study scored 38/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record and multi-centre collaboration, so those were left out: it earned 22 of the 58 points we could judge it on, which is 38 out of 100.
