Rhythm-based therapy for older adults' memory and movement
This study tests a new therapy that combines rhythm and movement to help improve thinking and physical function in healthy older adults and those with mild cognitive impairment. It compares their results with younger adults to see if the therapy works across different ages.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
