Walking and thinking study for ALS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with ALS walk while doing another task (like talking or counting). It aims to understand how the disease affects movement when you're focused on something else, which could help with future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have ALS or another motor neuron disease (MND).
- You can walk without help for at least 1 minute.
- You are willing to give written consent to take part.
- You do not have dementia or other serious conditions that could affect walking or thinking.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 follows people with ALS and healthy volunteers to measure how specific body fluids, symptoms, and at-home tracking change over time. It may help researchers find early signs of disease changes and better ways to measure treatment effects.
This study uses a wearable device to track movement patterns in people with ALS. It aims to better understand how the disease affects movement over time, which may help improve care.
This study uses a comprehensive analysis platform to better understand ALS (and related conditions) and help find ways to “remedy and eliminate” it. If you have ALS or are a healthy control who can safely complete questionnaires and possibly an MRI, you may be able to contribute data that researchers use to improve care.
This study tests whether a personalized exercise program, done 3 to 5 times a week for 30 minutes each, can help people with ALS maintain strength and function. It aims to see if tailored physical therapy is safe and beneficial.
This study uses motion analysis to understand walking and arm function in adults with certain neurological or metabolic diseases. The goal is to find patterns that help doctors better manage these conditions.
