Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The study includes 60 seniors, age 65 and older, with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia. Participants are recruited by the memory clinic of City Hospital Waid.
During the 12 months follow-up, participants will have 3 clinical visits (baseline, 6 and 12 month). Despite major efforts the target population is very difficult to recruit and adherence to treatment is low. We therefore decided to stop recruitment and to use this trial as a pilot trial for future clinical trials of the same topic.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Secondary objectives Objective 1: To test whether the Jaques-Dalcroze eurhythmics program (1 hour a week for 12 months) and/or the simple home exercise program (3 × 30 min a week for 12 months) decreases 12-month risk of falling at least once in seniors with MCI or mild dementia compared with the control group.
Objective 2: To test whether the Jaques-Dalcroze eurhythmics program (1 hour a week for 12 months) and/or the simple home exercise program (3 × 30 min a week for 12 months) improves cognitive func-tion and alertness in seniors with MCI or mild dementia compared with the control group.
Objective 3: To test whether the Jaques-Dalcroze eurhythmics program (1 hour a week for 12 months) and/or the simple home exercise program (3 × 30 min a week for 12 months) decreases gait variability in seniors with MCI or mild dementia compared with the control group.
Objective 4: To test whether the Jaques-Dalcroze eurhythmics program (1 hour a week for 12 months) and/or the simple home exercise program (3 × 30 min a week for 12 months) improves quality of life in seniors with MCI or mild dementia compared with the control group.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Jaques-Dalcroze eurhythmics
Jaques-Dalcroze eurhythmics (60min/wk) + 800 IU Vitamin D3
Vi-De 3
All participants receive a dose of 800 IU vitamin D3 per day as a standard of care. 800 IU Vitamin D is the dose that is currently recommended by the Swiss Health Department (Bundesamt für Gesundheit) for seniors over 60.
Jaques-Dalcroze eurhythmics
The Jaques-Dalcroze eurhythmics method includes different courses of motion (multi-task exercises) that are conducted to the rhythm of improvised piano music. A session starts with a short warm-up that includes simple exercises to get body and mind prepared for the rest of the exercise session. The complexity of the exercises increases gradually during the session: starting with single tasks and then combining them into a multi-task exercise gradually increasing complexity.
Home exercise program
Home exercise strength program (3x30min/wk) + 800 IU vitamin D
Vi-De 3
All participants receive a dose of 800 IU vitamin D3 per day as a standard of care. 800 IU Vitamin D is the dose that is currently recommended by the Swiss Health Department (Bundesamt für Gesundheit) for seniors over 60.
Home exercise program
The home exercise program is a strengthening program that will consist of five simple exercises.
Vitamin D only
800 IU Vi-De 3
Vi-De 3
All participants receive a dose of 800 IU vitamin D3 per day as a standard of care. 800 IU Vitamin D is the dose that is currently recommended by the Swiss Health Department (Bundesamt für Gesundheit) for seniors over 60.
