Walking with dual tasks in people with ALS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how walking changes when you do two things at once, like walking while talking or thinking. It aims to better understand movement problems in ALS and similar conditions, which could help improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with ALS or another motor neuron disease
- You can walk without help for at least 1 minute at a time
- You do not have dementia or other major health issues that affect your memory or walking

This study continuously measures activity and movement in people with ALS and in control participants. It aims to better understand how muscle disease changes day-to-day function, which may help improve future monitoring or care.
This study looks at whether doing a thinking task while walking (called a 'dual-task') affects how people with Parkinson's disease walk. It may help improve balance and movement.
This study tests whether combining physical exercises with mental tasks can improve thinking and memory in people with mild Alzheimer's disease. You would do simple activities that use both your brain and body at the same time.
This study compares treadmill walking to walking while doing a second task (like talking or carrying something) in people with Alzheimer's disease. It aims to see which training method improves mobility and safety better.
This study looks at how doing mental tasks while walking affects balance and movement in older adults. It aims to find the best way to improve walking safety and prevent falls.
