Abstract
⺠People with dementia are at risk of developing disabilities and mobility limitations. ⺠20 randomized controlled trials have studied the efficacy of exercise on their functioning. ⺠Nine trials were evaluated to have a high or moderate methodological quality. ⺠Of these trials, eight suggest that intensive exercise enhances mobility and physical functioning of people with dementia.
