Dual-task training for memory and balance in older adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a type of training that challenges you to do two tasks at once to help with thinking and movement. It is for people over 55 who may have mild memory problems but do not have major brain, heart, or lung conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two types of balance training (one where you stand still and one where you stand while doing a task) for older adults with mild to moderate thinking or memory problems. It aims to see which training is better for improving balance and daily function.
This study tests a personalized training program that combines physical tasks with thinking exercises. It aims to improve balance and walking in older adults who are healthy enough to exercise.
This study tests whether a combination of strength training and 'dual-task' exercises (like walking while counting backwards) can improve balance, eye movements, and thinking skills in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It may help you keep your memory and physical abilities stronger for longer.
