Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of the proposed study, "Promoting In-Home Activities at a Memory & Aging Clinic (Pro-Home MeC)", is to assess and improve the feasibility of a physical activity (PA) intervention and the measurement of cognitive outcomes in a memory clinic setting for inactive older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia and to examine how and improve the feasibility and acceptability of the procedures.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Program Feasibility	• Program feasibility measured by program adherence (e.g., self-reported program activities in the past 24 hours, yes/no).	3 months
Primary	Program Acceptability	• Program acceptability measured by patient's perception of the program difficulty. (Too hard, a little too hard, just right, a little too easy, much easy)	3 months
Primary	Feasibility of NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery	Feasibility of NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery measured by administration time.	3 months
Secondary	NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery scores	NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery Fluid Cognition scores (range 59 - 140, higher score means better cognition)	3 months
