Study of walking patterns to predict dementia and falls
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how your walking (gait) might help predict future dementia and risk of falls. You may be asked to walk tests and have health information collected to see who is at higher risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 60 and 85 years old
- Not currently meet criteria for dementia
- Be able to walk independently for 10 meters without a cane, walker, or other gait aid
- Be able to understand English
- Have no neurological conditions that leave lasting movement problems (such as stroke or Parkinson’s-like symptoms)
- Not have a lower-limb musculoskeletal problem or active arthritis that affects walking

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how walking patterns (gait) differ among people with different types of dementia. It may help doctors better understand and diagnose dementia by observing how patients walk.
This study looks at how memory problems and walking/mobility are connected. It may help researchers understand better ways to assess dementia risk and mobility changes early.
This study looks at how older adults with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease adapt their walking. It aims to understand walking and balance to help people stay mobile and safe longer.
This study looks at how older adults walk to see if walking patterns can help find early signs of memory loss or dementia. If you are 50 or older and can walk without help, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether doing two tasks at once, like walking while talking, can help predict fall risk in older adults living in nursing homes. If you join, you'll do some simple walking and thinking exercises to see how your balance and attention work together.
This study looks at how your brain controls walking and navigation, especially in people with early memory concerns. It may help researchers understand and improve treatments for diseases like Alzheimer's.
