Step training for older adults with mild dementia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a structured “step training” exercise program can help people with mild dementia move better or think more clearly. It may be helpful if you can walk independently and have a regular caregiver at home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
