Fronto lobe dementia constitutes 10-20 % of dementia conditions within younger persons (>65). People with neuronal degeneration in frontal and temporal lobes demonstrate a decline in social conduct, apathy, loss of insight that is gradual and progressive. Family members often experience guilt and shame because of the patients' behavior before institutionalization, and different behavioral disorders will cause great challenges to family caregivers and to staff after institutionalization. Preservation of dignity, both in regards to the person being affected, and their relatives, therefore seem highly relevant both before and after institutionalization.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether a combined intervention of physical activity and music therapy could reduce restlessness, irritability, and aggression among institutionalized people with severe dementia. An exploratory design was used to evaluate a combined intervention of physical activity, music therapy, and in- or outdoors walking daily, systematically implemented for eight weeks for persons with severe dementia in institutional care.
Inclusion Criteria:Persons with dementia with symptoms of frontal lobe dementia, who had lived for at least 6 months in a unit special care dementia unit in a nursing home
-
Exclusion Criteria:
-
An intervention consisting of physical activity, music and walking, was systematically implemented for eight weeks
Other: music and physical activity
This feasibility study focus on promoting a combination of music therapy and physical activity with the primary goal to describe the influence on restlessness, irritability, and aggression in persons with severe stage of dementia with a mixture of symptoms including frontal lobe problems in institutional care. A secondary goal is to investigate the treatment fidelity.

Ran from Nov 2014 to primary completion in Feb 2015, 3 months.
Of 5,147 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Motor Activity, half reached primary completion within 17 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 36. This study's 3 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 5,207 studies reached it within 17 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 36.
