[Physical activity in the elderly with a major neurocognitive disorder]

Abstract

A better knowledge of major neurocognitive disorders and motor learning allows us to propose motor rehabilitation (MR) adapted to subjects with Alzheimer's disease. Recent neuroscientific data on motor functions and cognition allow the construction of physical activity and MR programs, for which the dose-response relationship, content and instructions are determining factors. Further studies are needed to confirm the effectiveness of the methods used.
