Demans, yaşlanmayla birlikte prevalansı artan ciddi bir sağlık sorunudur ve tüm demans tipleri arasında en sık görüleni olarak Alzheimer hastalığı karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Hastalığın evrelerine ve beynin tutulum bölgesine göre farklı klinik tablolar görülmektedir. Hastalık süreci, hasta ve bakım verenin yaşam kalitesini olumsuz etkilemektedir. Hastalık tedavisinde farmakolojik ve farmakolojik olmayan çeşitli tedavi yöntemleri uygulanmakta ve tedavilerin etkinlikleriyle ilgili araştırmalara halen devam edilmektedir. Günümüzde Alzheimer hastalığı tedavisinde egzersiz uygulamaları farmakolojik olmayan önemli bir yaklaşım olarak ele alınmaktadır.
