Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects how people think and move. This study looks at a new way to help people with early AD using Partnered Rhythmic Rehabilitation (PRR). PRR is a fun social dance that helps with thinking, moving, and socializing, which might slow down AD's effects. The study will last for one year and involves 66 participants. They will be split into two groups: one does PRR, and the other goes on walks. This is a Phase II single-blind trial, meaning participants won't know which group they're in, to ensure fair results. The first three months involve two sessions a week, then once a week for the following nine months. Researchers will check if PRR is safe and if it helps with thinking and moving better. They will also look at the brain and body changes. Participants need to be able to walk without help and commit to one year. This study is not for people with severe health issues or recent hospital stays.
- Study lasts 12 months with sessions starting biweekly, then weekly.
- Participants will do either PRR or walking exercises.
- Safe for people who can walk without help and meet health criteria.
