Dual task training for memory and walking in Alzheimer's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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 trial tests a type of training that challenges you to do two tasks at once to help with thinking and movement. It is for people over 55 who may have mild memory problems but do not have major brain, heart, or lung conditions.
This study compares two different training approaches that combine cognitive (thinking) and physical exercises to help improve balance, walking, and daily functioning in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find which method works better for maintaining independence and preventing falls.
This study tests two different ways of combining physical and mental exercises to see which helps older adults with mild to moderate memory problems improve their thinking and daily function better.
This study tests a training program that combines physical tasks with thinking challenges (dual tasking). It may help people with Parkinson's feel more confident in their daily activities and improve their quality of life.
This study tests whether combining physical and mental exercises can improve walking and thinking for people with multiple sclerosis. It may help if you have mild disability and haven't had a recent relapse.
