This study was conducted to determine the efficacy of multisensory exercise programme on cognition and functionality in postmenopausal women. Thirty postmenopausal women in the range of 55-65 years old and a body mass index ... The multisensory exercise programme showed statistically significant improvements on cognition, and functional performance as compared with the control group, which showed no statistically significant differences at the post intervention time point. The multisensory exercise programme improved the cognition and functionality of post menopausal women. The introduction of a motor and multisensory‐based approach in care routines may improve residents' health and engagement to the environment. Maki PM, Rich JB, Rosenbaum RS.
