Mobility and mental health study for dementia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a simple exercise program to help older adults with dementia improve their walking and mood. It's designed for people who can move around on their own and are in generally good physical health.

This study tests two types of training—cognitive (brain) and movement exercises—for people with mild-to-moderate dementia. The goal is to see if these activities together can help improve thinking, memory, and physical function.
This trial studies whether guided group exercise with music can improve how well people with moderate dementia follow exercise plans. Participants will join a nursing-home based music and movement group program.
This study tests a simple exercise program that uses minimal equipment for older adults with dementia living at home. The goal is to see if it helps improve strength, balance, and daily function.
This trial studies whether a structured “step training” exercise program can help people with mild dementia move better or think more clearly. It may be helpful if you can walk independently and have a regular caregiver at home.
This trial tests a structured lifestyle program (more activity and healthier eating) to help prevent or slow memory and thinking problems. It may be helpful if you’re older but not showing major memory impairment, and you can commit to weekly study activities for about 8 months.
This trial tests a robot-assisted activity program designed to help people with mild-to-moderate dementia and their caregivers become more physically active. It aims to improve health and well-being for both.
