      abstract = {The goals of this exploratory pre-post pilot and  feasibility study (NCT04916964) were to assess the  feasibility and effectiveness of an adapted  Test-and-Exercise home-based exercise program on basic  functional mobility and executive functions in persons with  prodromal or mild Alzheimer’s disease. Participants  followed an 8 week exercise program at home, once per week  with a physiotherapist and twice per week with their usual  caregiver or independently. Functional mobility and  executive functions were assessed before and after the  intervention. Feasibility criteria were recruitment  opportunity, participation agreement rate, cost adequacy,  and drop-out rate. Twelve participants aged 80.83 ± 4.65  years took part in the study. All the basic functional  mobility measures showed small effect sizes. Concerning  executive functions, 5 measures showed small to moderate  effect sizes. The 4 feasibility criteria were met. A larger  scale study would, however, need adaptations and prior  research on the ability of this population to use  touch-screen technology.},
