Dual-task exercise to help prevent falls in memory trouble
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a type of exercise training (doing a physical task while also doing a thinking task) to help older adults with mild memory problems prevent falls. If you have fallen before or have trouble with balance, this program may help you improve safety and coordination.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older
- You have noticeable memory loss
- Your memory test results suggest mild impairment (not more severe)
- You have either fallen 1 or more times in the last 12 months, or your balance test is slow (Timed Up and Go takes ≥12 seconds)
- You are able to walk but not completely on your own for basic household distances
