This study tests whether imagining moving your body (motor imagery training) can improve balance in older adults. It will compare this mental practice with usual activities to see if it helps prevent falls and improves stability.
This trial tests whether practicing motor imagery (mentally rehearsing movements) along with turning exercises can help older adults with balance or walking difficulties improve their mobility and reduce fall risk. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups and complete the study procedures at Boise State University.
This trial tests if a group-based exercise program can help prevent declines in thinking and physical abilities in older adults. It may be a good fit if you are at least 50, can walk on your own, and want to stay active.
This study tests whether learning memory strategies through physical movement and motor activities can help people with early Alzheimer's disease improve their memory. Researchers will compare people with early Alzheimer's to healthy older adults to see if this approach is effective.
This trial tests if imagining arm movements (motor imagery training) can help improve arm strength in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It is a non-drug, mental practice approach that may help your brain relearn movement.
This trial tests if a single session of watching and imagining arm movements can improve balance and reduce fatigue in healthy young men.
