Abstract
The aim of the study was to show the effects of exercise on the mitotic index (MI) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) by using the relevant measurement tools. With a regular exercise program, improvement in memory, increase in learning capacity and improvement in sensorimotor functions can be achieved in older age groups, and increased the also increased independence level of Daily Living Activities (ADL) of elderly individuals. In the study, it was aimed to contribute to the diagnosis, treatment and care processes of the disease by examining the cognitive tests and daily living activities of 19 elderly patients with Alzheimer's disease in terms of mitotic index before and after exercise.
