Brief Summary:
The objective of the proposed study, "Promoting In-Home Activities at a Memory & Aging Clinic (Pro-Home MeC)", is to assess and improve the feasibility of a physical activity (PA) intervention and the measurement of cognitive outcomes in a memory clinic setting for inactive older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia and to examine how and improve the feasibility and acceptability of the procedures.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Gentle Moves
Three-month physical activity intervention.
Behavioral: Gentle Moves
A safe physical activity program which consists of a brief motivational enhancement and three movements to be performed in a seated position; and two movements in the standing position. The intervention will be delivered by a research coach.

No Intervention: Usual Care
Usual care provided by neuropsychologist.



Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Program Feasibility [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    • Program feasibility measured by program adherence (e.g., self-reported program activities in the past 24 hours, yes/no).

  2. Program Acceptability [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    • Program acceptability measured by patient's perception of the program difficulty. (Too hard, a little too hard, just right, a little too easy, much easy)

  3. Feasibility of NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    Feasibility of NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery measured by administration time.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery scores [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery Fluid Cognition scores (range 59 - 140, higher score means better cognition)
