Brain and Body Training for Better Balance in Older Adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a combined physical and mental training program to improve walking, balance, and reduce falls in older adults with mild memory problems. It involves supervised exercise and MRI brain scans to see if this helps your body and mind work together better.
