PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (pre-treatment) and 7 weeks (post-treatment)

Physical Functioning subscale of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form (SF-36) consists of 10 items and measures how much participants' health status limits their activities including walking, climbing, lifting, and bathing or dressing oneself, based on self-reports. Each item is measured a 3-point scale (1 = Yes, limited a lot; 2 = Yes, limited a little; 3 = No, not limited at all), then recoded into 0, 50, and 100, respectively. The recoded scores are averaged to generate a summary score with its possible range from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better physical functioning.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (pre-treatment) and 7 weeks (post-treatment)

Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease (QOL-AD) is a 13-item scale that measures participant's self-reported feelings about different aspects of life including energy, mood, living situation, memory, family, friends, ability, and money. Each item has a 4-point response scale (1 = poor; 2 = fair; 3 = good; 4 = excellent). The summary score is a sum of the 13 items with its possible range from 13 to 52. Higher scores indicate higher quality of life.
