To assess the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the tailored activity programme on improving the physical inactivity of the caregiving dyads.
This is a two-arm pilot randomized controlled trial evaluating the feasiblity and preliminary efficacy of the robot-assisted tailored activity programme on improving the physical inactivity of people with dementia and their caregivers. Sixty dyads will be rectuited. Participants in the intervention group will receive a 12-week tailored activity programme, while those in the control group will receive usal community care services. Outcomes including feasibility of the tailored acitivity programme, physical activity levels, self-efficacy in physical activity, dyadic quality of life, neuropsychiatric somptoms, and psychological wellbeing will be measured at baseline and immediately post intervention.

| Changes in physical activity | Physical activity will be measured with the Chinese version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short version (IPAQ-C, short). The IPAQ-C is a 9-item instrument with good reliability and validity. Objective mesures will include number of steps, movement distance, sedentary minutes, inactive minutes collected with an activity tracker. | Pre-intervention and immediately post-intervention |

|
| Changes in quality of life | Dyadic quality of life will be measured with the 12-item Short Form Survey (SF-12). Higher scores indicate better quality of life | Pre-intervention and immediately post-intervention |
| Changes in neuropsychiatric symptoms of people with dementia | People with dementia's neuropsychiatric symptoms will be measured with the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI). NPI evaluates 12 common neuropsychiatric disturbances in dementia. The Chinese version was reliable. Higher scores indicate worse symptoms | Pre-intervention and immediately post-intervention |
| Changes in psychological well-being | Dyads' psychological well-being will be measured with the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). DASS-21 includes 3 subscales (stress, anxiety, and depression), and has demonstrated good reliability among the Chinese population. Higher scores indicate poorer psychological wellbeing and more psychological distress. | Pre-intervention and immediately post-intervention |
