Summary

This trial studies the effects of computer and Tai Chi-Qi Gong training on those with early-onset Alzheimer's. It is hoped that these activities can improve cognition, functioning, and mood.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 40-64 with Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease, who are in good health without other neurological disorders. Participants must be fluent in English, have an informant, and be able to see, hear, understand and perform tasks well enough to engage in the study activities.
What is being tested?
The study is testing if brain games and Tai Chi-Qi Gong can improve cognition, functioning, and mood in those with Early-Onset Alzheimer's. It compares computerized cognitive training (experimental) against stretching exercises (control) to see which is more effective.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive activities like brain games and Tai Chi-Qi Gong exercises, side effects may include muscle soreness or fatigue from physical activity. Cognitive training typically does not cause adverse side effects.
