Training practice to help prevent falls in Alzheimer’s
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a specific “training practice” can reduce falls in people with probable Alzheimer’s disease. It may help by improving safe walking and balance after doing the training.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a strength training program that also engages the mind, to see if it improves health, physical fitness, and quality of life for people with early-stage Alzheimer's disease. Participants will attend weekly sessions in Seville.
This study tests whether combining physical exercises with mental tasks can improve thinking and memory in people with mild Alzheimer's disease. You would do simple activities that use both your brain and body at the same time.
This trial tests if practicing slips and trips can help people with multiple sclerosis learn to prevent falls. You will be exposed to controlled slips and trips to improve your balance and walking safety.
This study tests a special treadmill training that gently pushes you off balance to help you learn to catch yourself and prevent falls. It is for older adults who are at high risk of falling.
This trial tests if a specific type of physical training can help older adults who are at risk of falling. It is designed for people aged 60-90 who have had a fall in the past year or are otherwise considered high risk.
This study tests a reactive balance training program to reduce fall risk. It may help you improve how your balance reacts when you are pushed or lose stability.
