Cognitive Groove (Brought to You by GERAS DANCE) (NCT06870149)
Does Cognitive Groove (Brought to You by GERAS DANCE) Improve Physical Performance in Community-Dwelling Older Adults With Frailty: A Parallel Randomized Controlled Trial
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of a community-based rehabilitation intervention (Cognitive Groove, Brought to you by GERAS DANCE), compared to usual care, on clinical outcomes in community-dwelling older adults living with frailty. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. In community-dwelling older adults living with frailty, is Cognitive Groove more effective than usual care in improving functional movement, physical performance and strength? 2. In community-dwelling older adults living with frailty is Cognitive Groove more effective than usual care in improving frailty status, fear of falling, balance confidence, mood, cognition, grip strength, activities of daily living, life space mobility, loneliness, and quality of life? 3. As a community-based rehabilitation intervention, is Cognitive Groove a cost-effective intervention embedded within the community for older adults living with frailty after 12-months? Participants will participate in Cognitive Groove classes twice per week for 3 months or receive no intervention (usual care).
