Sponsor's own description

Rationale: A prominent and degenerative motor symptom of dementia is paratonia that heavily affects quality of life. However, paratonia is poorly recognized and the diagnosis yet relies on subjective evaluation by caregivers. Objective: The primary aim of the proposed study is to develop a surface-electromyography-based method to objectively quantify paratonia in people with dementia. In addition, we aim to increase the understanding of the role of neuromuscular dysfunctions that contribute to paratonia. Study design: Cross-sectional study, in people of various ages and at older age with different levels of cognitive impairment and neuromuscular functioning, in which we will examine the association between their physical and cognitive function and neuromuscular outcome measures. Study population: Healthy young (18-30y, n = 40), middle-age (40-55y, n = 40) and older adults (\>65y; n = 40). In addition, people with mild cognitive impairment (n = 40) as well as people with mild (n = 40), moderate (n = 40) and severe (n = 40) dementia. Main study parameters/endpoints: Cognitive function, physical function, neuromuscular function expressed by muscle- and brain activity as well as coordination.
