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.
