Walking and balance in memory loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how older adults with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease adapt their walking. It aims to understand walking and balance to help people stay mobile and safe longer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer's disease by a neurologist.
- You need to have memory problems, like trouble remembering things your partner notices.
- Your walking should be good enough to take at least 10 steps without a cane or walker.
- You haven't been in the hospital in the last 60 days.
- You aren't taking certain medications that affect thinking, like strong painkillers or Parkinson's drugs.

This study tests an “adaptive” exercise plan that adjusts over time to help improve aerobic fitness and your body’s fitness response in people with mild memory problems or early Alzheimer’s. It may help you safely build the kind of fitness that supports brain health, while researchers monitor changes with fitness testing and blood work.
This trial tests if a supervised exercise program can improve thinking skills and daily function in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It may help slow memory decline and keep you independent longer.
This study looks at whether light-to-moderate physical activity (like walking or stretching) can help memory and thinking in middle-aged and older adults. People with normal thinking, mild memory problems, or Parkinson's disease may join if they aren't already very active.
This study looks at how older adults walk to see if walking patterns can help find early signs of memory loss or dementia. If you are 50 or older and can walk without help, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how older adults walk and balance when doing two tasks at once (like talking while walking). Researchers want to understand how mild memory concerns affect movement, which could help catch early brain changes.
This study tests a program of exercises designed to improve both memory and balance in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. The goal is to help people remain independent and reduce the risk of falls.
