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

This study compares Tai Chi with conventional exercise to improve thinking and memory in older adults who have mild cognitive impairment. If you qualify, you may be asked to do a supervised exercise program and be tested on thinking abilities over time.
This study tests whether Tai Chi—a gentle moving exercise—can improve balance and prevent falls in people 55 and older. Researchers will also track your body's internal clock to see if it affects how well the exercise works for you.
This study looks at whether doing tai chi over time can stop or slow mild memory problems from turning into dementia. If you have early, Alzheimer-related mild cognitive impairment, tai chi might help protect thinking and memory.
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.
This study tests a program to help older adults with mild memory problems and a recent fall improve their balance and prevent future falls. If you've had a fall in the past year and have some trouble with memory, this trial may offer safe exercises and guidance.
This study tests whether combining mental exercises with gentle physical activities can help people with mild memory problems think and remember better. It is for older adults who have noticed their memory slipping but can still take part in group activities.
