An including criteria was limited to limit focus more in only the related studies and it included only the studies for those with dementia due to any etiology, over 75, studies with contains outcome measures related to (mobility, balance, lower extremity strength, and ADL performance), and the studies which were written in (English, Danish, German) languages. The study selection was done by two reviewers. The study’s’ methodology was scored by the similar reviewer by using Downs and Black (DB) validity and reliability checklist (Downs SH & Black N, 1998). This checklist contains 27 questions related to 4 domains: reporting, external validity, internal validity – bias, and internal validity – confounding. The higher score indicate higher quality of the study’s methodology. In addition, the study’s quality list of Sackett DL, Straus SE, and Richardson WS (2002) and scores the studies from 1-5 was used. From 104 received articles, only 16 studies were included in this systematic
